Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s talk! We want to understand your situation, problems, and needs. As we talk, we will get to understand your challenges and recommend how we can help. We designed our offerings to be flexible in meeting the different challenges of each client. Generally, companies that are open to new strategies and growth are the best fit.

EMD Strategies follows a business development lifecycle based on industry best practices. This process is widely used throughout our industry and has been codified by organizations like the Association for Proposal Management Professionals (APMP), the Business Development Institute, and Shipley Associates. Every employee is required to obtain APMP’s Foundation-level Certification within one-year of employment.

We work with companies of all sizes, including the large integrators. While we were founded in 2010 with a focus on small business, we have found that every company has a challenge. We work to find solutions to those challenges whether its sizing the business development lifecycle into small and medium businesses or into specific units within a larger organization.

Currently, EMD Strategies is focused on growing and supporting our clients in the federal contracting market only.

Our projects support clients in a range of capability areas and agency customers. Agencies of focus vary with every engagement depending on your target market. We have supported clients in pursuit of opportunities with defense, intelligence, and civilian agencies.

We represent clients nationwide in a variety of industries and company sizes. We have represented one-person companies, commercial companies looking to “get their feet wet” in the federal market to small businesses needing more capture capacity, to new 8(a)s, graduating 8(a)s, mid-sized businesses and the largest systems integrator and Native-owned companies. We tailor our offerings to the specific goals and objectives of each client.

Our firm does not work on a contingent basis. Our pricing is affordable and gains you access to best practices and outside perspectives as well as an ongoing partnership.

Enterprise Management Development but no one calls us “Enterprise Management Development Strategies,” so we stick with EMD.
