Rajesh a.k.a BabaVelo has raced all around the world as an amateur over the last 25 years or so. He is very passionate about cycling and is in a privileged position of being able to travel and participate in some of the best cycling events around the world. That meant he took part in 100s of races all around the world over the years. That experience gives him a perspective that not many of us have. He is outspoken. He wears his heart on his sleeve and shares his opinion without any filters. I think, that makes it all the more valuable. To set the context for this episode, a couple of days before we sat down for this chat, he withdrew from a race we travelled to take part in because of safety concerns. He did not want to risk racing in the dark on roads with traffic. We shared constructive feedback to the organizers who were very receptive for the same. But, I thought that this is a topic all of us need to think more about. In that context, we sat down to discuss about road racing in India and safety aspects we need to take care of when it comes to racing here since we don't have closed roads. Please note that the intent is not to knock on any one race or any one organizer but to discuss openly what can be done to make racing in general safer for everyone. I hope it comes across as such and that it helps all of us think more seriously about this topic.            0:00:00  Intro0:10:15  Safety of an event0:12:35  Road closures, BBCh0:17:15  Tour of Thekkady0:19:30  CFI and closed roads0:21:40  What can be done to make events safer within the constraints of India0:25:00  Shayadhri Classic and Tour of Nilgiris formats0:22:00  Circuit Races, Gravel events 0:30:40  Mountain biking as a safer option for kids0:31:40  ITTs don't have to be 40k 0:32:50  Gravel is not bad roads0:33:50  Organizers and safety standards0:35:00  Tour of Thekkady, Safety concerns, racing in the dark, neutral zones0:43:15  Talking of categories 0:46:00  Closing       About the PodcastThe working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports.

Let's have an honest conversation about invitations to tender (ITTs). We've discussed this topic in the Agency Academy, and I believe it's time to address this significant issue in our industry.If you've been in the digital industry for any length of time, you've likely encountered them. They're a staple of the procurement process, especially in larger organizations and government bodies. But here's the thing: they're not working. Not for agencies, not for clients, and certainly not for the projects themselves or their end users.As someone who's been on both sides of the fence - writing proposals and evaluating them - I've seen firsthand how this process can fall short. So, let's break down why ITTs are problematic and explore some alternatives that could lead to better outcomes for everyone involved.The Agency Perspective: A Costly GambleFor agencies, responding to an ITT is often a significant investment of time and resources. It's not uncommon for teams to spend weeks crafting the perfect response, only to find out they were just there to make up the numbers. This isn't just frustrating; it's economically unsustainable.The amount of work involved in pitching is substantial. Agencies often have to dedicate significant resources to preparing detailed proposals, which takes time away from billable work and ongoing projects. This investment is made with no guarantee of success, and often with the knowledge that they may have little to no chance of winning the bid.Moreover, the limited information provided in most ITTs makes accurate pricing nearly impossible. Agencies are forced to make educated guesses about the scope and complexity of the work, often leading to either overpricing (and losing the bid) or underpricing (and losing money on the project). This lack of information and the absence of an opportunity to conduct necessary research puts agencies in a precarious position.To mitigate these risks, agencies often have to add a buffer to their pricing, which can make them less competitive. Alternatively, they might lowball their estimates to win the bid, potentially setting themselves up for financial strain or a compromised project quality down the line.The Client's Dilemma: Paying More for LessClients might think they're getting a good deal through competitive tendering, but the reality is often quite different. The costs associated with preparing unsuccessful bids don't just disappear - they're factored into the rates of successful projects. This means clients are indirectly paying for all those failed proposals, essentially subsidizing the entire tendering process across the industry.Furthermore, the ITT process often rewards the best sales pitch rather than the most suitable agency. Clients end up with partners who excel at writing proposals but may not be the best fit for their specific needs. In many cases, agencies tell the client what they want to hear rather than what they need to know, leading to misaligned expectations and potential project failures down the line.The Project Suffers: Inflexibility and Missed OpportunitiesPerhaps the most significant drawback of the ITT process is its impact on the projects themselves. The rigid specifications laid out in most tenders leave little room for agencies to bring their expertise to bear on the project's scope and approach.This inflexibility continues throughout the project, as the fixed scope makes it challenging to adapt to new insights or changing requirements. It can also lead to tension between the client and agency over what's considered "in scope," potentially damaging the relationship and the project's success.Moreover, the selection process is often weighed too heavily towards the cheapest price, NOT the best value. This can result in subpar outcomes, as the focus shifts from delivering quality and innovation to merely meeting the minimum requirements at the lowest cost.The fixed scope also means there's limited opportunity to respond to insights gained during the project, including crucial user testing results. In the fast-paced world of digital, this inflexibility can lead to outdated solutions or missed opportunities for improvement. Without the ability to pivot based on user feedback, projects risk delivering products that don't meet actual user needs, regardless of how well they adhere to the original specifications.A Better Way ForwardSo, what's the solution? While I understand the need for accountability and fairness in procurement processes, especially in public sector organizations, we need to find a middle ground that works better for all parties involved.Here are a few ideas to consider:Focus on track record and capabilities: Instead of detailed project specifications, evaluate agencies based on their past performance, case studies, and overall capabilities. This approach allows clients to select partners based on their proven expertise rather than their ability to write a compelling proposal.Paid discovery phase: Consider paying a preferred supplier to conduct a brief discovery phase. This allows for a more accurate project scope and budget, benefiting both the client and the agency. For instance, give the preferred supplier a budget you want to work within and pay them a tenth of that to run a review and recommendation phase to define the project and work out what can be delivered within that price.Phased approach: Break larger projects into smaller, more manageable phases. This reduces risk for both parties and allows for more flexibility as the project progresses. Each sub-project can be individually costed and can inform the next, allowing for adaptability and continuous improvement.Value-based selection: Shift the focus from the lowest price to the best value. This might involve considering factors like the agency's expertise, proposed approach, and potential ROI. By doing so, clients can ensure they're getting the best solution for their needs, not just the cheapest option.Implementing these changes won't be easy, especially in organizations with entrenched procurement processes. The approach of using ITTs makes sense when you're buying a fixed product or service, but it doesn't work well with digital services, which are inherently more fluid and require ongoing collaboration and adaptation.Ideally, the relationship needs to be more like hiring a contractor based on time and materials. But I accept that this is a big change to ask for, especially in larger organizations and the public sector. The alternatives suggested above can serve as a middle ground, allowing for more flexibility and better outcomes while still maintaining a structured procurement process.By adopting these approaches, we can create a system that benefits all parties involved:Agencies can invest their resources more efficiently, focusing on projects where they can truly add value.Clients can make more informed decisions, getting better value for their investment and forming partnerships with agencies that are truly suited to their needs.Projects can be more flexible and responsive to changing requirements and new insights, leading to better outcomes and more innovative solutions.The potential benefits - more successful projects, better client-agency relationships, and more efficient use of resources - make it worth pursuing these changes. It's time for our industry to move beyond the outdated ITT process and embrace a more collaborative, flexible, and value-driven approach to project procurement.If you're considering hiring an agency and find this approach intriguing, don't hesitate to reach out. I'd be delighted to discuss in more detail how you can implement these ideas.Until next time,Paul

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: On the Contrary, Steelmanning Is Normal; ITT-Passing Is Niche, published by Zack M Davis on January 10, 2024 on LessWrong. Rob Bensinger argues that "ITT-passing and civility are good; 'charity' is bad; steelmanning is niche". The ITT - Ideological Turing Test - is an exercise in which one attempts to present one's interlocutor's views as persuasively as the interlocutor themselves can, coined by Bryan Caplan in analogy to the Turing Test for distinguishing between humans and intelligent machines. (An AI that can pass as human must presumably possess human-like understanding; an opponent of an idea that can pass as an advocate for it presumably must possess an advocate's understanding.) "Steelmanning" refers to the practice of addressing a stronger version of an interlocutor's argument, coined in disanalogy to "strawmanning", the crime of addressing a weaker version of an interlocutor's argument in the hopes of fooling an audience (or oneself) that the original argument has been rebutted. Bensinger describes steelmanning as "a useful niche skill", but thinks it isn't "a standard thing you bring out in most arguments." Instead, he writes, discussions should be structured around object-level learning, trying to pass each other's Ideological Turing Test, or trying resolve cruxes. I think Bensinger has it backwards: the Ideological Turing Test is a useful niche skill, but it doesn't belong on a list of things to organize a discussion around, whereas something like steelmanning naturally falls out of object-level learning. Let me explain. The ITT is a test of your ability to model someone else's models of some real-world phenomena of interest. But usually, I'm much more interested in modeling the real-world phenomena of interest directly, rather than modeling someone else's models of it. I couldn't pass an ITT for advocates of Islam or extrasensory perception. On the one hand, this does represent a distinct deficit in my ability to model what the advocates of these ideas are thinking, a tragic gap in my comprehension of reality, which I would hope to remedy in the Glorious Transhumanist Future if that were a real thing. On the other hand, facing the constraints of our world, my inability to pass an ITT for Islam or ESP seems ... basically fine? I already have strong reasons to doubt the existence of ontologically fundamental mental entities. I accept my ignorance of the reasons someone might postulate otherwise, not out of contempt, but because I just don't have the time. Or think of it this way: as a selfish seeker of truth speaking to another selfish seeker of truth, when would I want to try to pass my interlocutor's ITT, or want my interlocutor to try to pass my ITT? In the "outbound" direction, I'm not particularly selfishly interested in passing my interlocutor's ITT because, again, I usually don't care much about other people's beliefs, as contrasted to the reality that those beliefs are reputedly supposed to track. I listen to my interlocutor hoping to learn from them, but if some part of what they say seems hopelessly wrong, it doesn't seem profitable to pretend that it isn't until I can reproduce the hopeless wrongness in my own words. Crucially, the same is true in the "inbound" direction. I don't expect people to be able to pass my ITT before criticizing my ideas. That would make it harder for people to inform me about flaws in my ideas! But if I'm not particularly interested in passing my interlocutor's ITT or in my interlocutor passing mine, and my interlocutor presumably (by symmetry) feels the same way, why would we bother? All this having been said, I absolutely agree that, all else being equal, the ability to pass ITTs is desirable. It's useful as a check that you and your interlocutor are successfully communicating, rather than talking past each other. I...
