After hundreds of projects and thousands of responses, patterns start to surface.
In this episode, Susan and Charles share four consistent behaviors they’ve observed from high-performing economic development teams responding inside Lasso.
This is perspective from the owner view of the workflow, not theory.
This episode covers:
- Why top teams distribute data ownership instead of centralizing it on one person.
- How collaboration reduces RFI fatigue and improves response quality.
- Why visibility work must happen long before an RFI arrives.
- How market screening and test fits influence early-stage decisions.
- What growing global search activity means for North American communities.
- Why portfolio-level gap analysis strengthens long-term competitiveness.
- How stored, recallable answers eliminate repeated manual effort.
- What distribution lists and structured workflows change inside an organization.
If RFIs feel reactive, repetitive, or exhausting, this episode outlines a more durable operating model for handling them at scale.
