The Chief Performance Officer and his team at the Office of Management and Budget have created an ambitious agenda addressing the focus needed for the greatest impact on government programs. As part of these priorities, it will be critical that those who contract with the government are delivering what they promised, in terms of price, schedule and performance. This session will examine the roles of both the supplier and buyer as it relates to what has to take place to ensure contracting success starting with the pre-RFP process through to contract award and management within a transparent, collaborative and high-performance government procurement practice. NOTE: Be sure to continue listening after the presentation for a bonus segment which features my interview with the then Canadian Trade Minister Stockwell Day regarding the Buy American policy and the exemption negotiations between Canada and the United States.
