Build the workflows, controls and confidence to use AI well.
15+ years leading complex international bids and building stronger bid practices.
Bid practices were built around people gathering information, coordinating inputs and producing content under pressure. AI agents can now take on more of that work.
The opportunity is not to automate the old process. It is to redesign the practice around better judgement, greater capacity and clear human accountability.
AI agents are changing how complex bids are pursued. Organisations that start learning now will shape the practice, rather than catch up later.
Monitor markets, research accounts, connect opportunity signals and keep the pipeline current.
Build relationships, advocate for opportunities the business can win and deliver, and align the organisation behind where to focus.
Broader market coverage, earlier focus and more time with clients.
Structure requirements, retrieve evidence, coordinate contributions, track changes and support assurance.
Qualify the opportunity, shape the strategy, challenge assumptions and make commercial commitments.
Faster adaptation, stronger strategic attention and better-controlled bids.
Prepare a structured handover, capture decisions and outcomes, and return lessons to shared organisational knowledge.
Brief delivery teams, interpret what happened and decide what should change next time.
Faster mobilisation, less lost knowledge and a stronger starting point for the next bid.
Agents prepare and coordinate. People direct, challenge, decide and approve.
Enterprise value comes from how AI is directed, executed, validated and governed, not from the model alone.
Set the decision, acceptance criteria and commercial value.
Ground work in tender documents, CRM, prior bids, evidence and policy.
Route bounded tasks to specialist agents, systems and people.
Test sources, accuracy, completeness and exceptions before work advances.
People qualify, approve strategy, accept commitments and authorise submission.
Track quality, rework, cycle time and outcomes to improve the next workflow.
Reliable, governed bid decisions and outputs.

Technology should serve your bid strategy, your people and the decisions that matter.
15+ years from estimator to Bid Director, leading complex international bids across energy, infrastructure and industrial markets.
MBA-qualified. Built teams and bid practices, entered markets and reshaped how organisations pursue growth.
Turn bid work into practical AI use cases, governed workflows and pilots with clear human controls.
ICF-credentialled coach helping leaders build judgement, confidence and adoption.
Ignis improves the front end of winning work: business development, capture, qualification, bid leadership, proposals and handover. We redesign decisions and workflows around people and AI agents, and can examine connected downstream processes where they affect delivery, learning or future growth.
Discovery clarifies the business problem, current workflow, constraints and practical options before a solution is chosen. The output may be a diagnosis, priority use cases, a roadmap or a recommendation that process, knowledge or governance work should come first.
Yes. Ignis can advise, design and build focused AI agents and workflows around your people and systems. The delivery model depends on the technical resources you already have: we can work with your internal team or provide more hands-on development where that capability is not available.
AI agents will change bid work, but they do not remove the need for accountable bid leadership. Agents can retrieve, structure, coordinate and challenge. People must still qualify opportunities, shape win strategy, accept commercial risk and authorise the commitments made to a client.
I combine experience as a senior corporate leader with executive coaching expertise. Through practical training and coaching, I help leaders and teams adapt their roles, strengthen judgement and build the confidence to work effectively with AI agents.
We primarily work with organisations pursuing complex, high-value opportunities in energy, infrastructure, construction and regulated environments. Typical clients include commercial leaders, Heads of Bids and transformation teams. The approach can also apply to adjacent sectors with comparable risk, governance and coordination challenges.
There is no standard package because Ignis does not assume the intervention before understanding the problem. Discovery establishes the scope and most proportionate route. You receive a clear proposal and price before substantive work begins, with no obligation to proceed.
Yes. I am French, based in Manchester, and have spent my career pursuing and leading opportunities across the UK and Europe. Ignis works nationwide and internationally, combining remote and in-person work where it adds value.

AI can produce more bid work. The advantage is moving to the decisions before and after it.
Your team already knows more than it can find. That is where time, confidence and bidding capacity disappear.
Why the hardest bid decisions belong before anyone starts drafting.
