Real talk: DEI isn’t just a checklist. OAIB stands out because we understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—how the culture, the people, and the power dynamics play into DEI issues. Big thanks to Kristin M. Lord, President & CEO of IREX, for seeing the value in what we do. When you’re ready to go beyond the buzzwords and make real change, we’re here.

🚀 Why a QBR Marketplace is Essential for Business Growth 🚀
This week, we completed the next sessions of the QBR Marketplace!
Though it was exhausting, the process taught us a lot and brought great clarity to our teams.
But why is this important?
1️⃣ Team alignment: Through these sessions, we ensure that our teams are fully aligned with the business strategy and are not deviating from the key objectives.
2️⃣ Complete transparency: Transparency from top to bottom ensures that the strategy is implemented correctly and that everyone is working towards the same goal.
3️⃣ The importance of strategic planning: QBRs help us understand how well the strategic plans are working and what achievements have been made within these planning frameworks.
For each team member, this process is crucial – because only through continuous and clear planning can long-term success be achieved!

It's time for another award winner, please be upstanding for Matt Antill - who scooped the Bid Excellence award (for the second time, we might add...!)
🎉It’s great to see you win an award Matt, could you tell us a bit about your nomination?
We’ve started to see the impact of technology and AI in bidding. It’s going to play a critical role, although my Bid Excellence Award nomination had no reference to technology. I wanted to show the continued importance of people in the bid process; effective capture, rigorous qualification, running writing training with our SMEs, and being the catalyst and driver of winning deals and overall sales performance. I was delighted to win on the night.
🎉 How does it feel to win the Bid Excellence award?
We’re naturally all competitive people in the bid world. Competing and winning against talented peers in the APMP community is highly rewarding. Winning an award helps with raising my internal profile within Virgin Media O2 Business too. I did find out at school parents' evening this week that my seven-year old had been telling the teacher and his class that ‘Daddy had won a trophy at work!' That makes it extra special.
🎉 What pearls of wisdom would you like to share?
The nomination should be treated like a bid. Is there a compelling story behind it? What are the key messages to emphasise? Can it meet all the evaluation criteria? Is there evidence (qualitative and quantitative) to support it? Apply effective qualification to your nomination process!
