The Changing World of Public Procurement and Contracting

On Wednesday, June 22, 2011, I delivered a talk and facilitated a discussion on "The Changing World of Public Procurement and Contracting: Responses to the Global Market and Struggling U.S. Economy."

The audience consisted of senior marketing directors and vice presidents from across the country for companies who regularly contract with government agencies.  They are part of an advisory board to a Seattle-based company who helps businesses locate government contracting opportunities.

5 Trends in Public Contracting:  The two hour presentation and facilitated discussion focused on what I see as five key and emerging trends in public contracting:
  • The Rising Importance of Relationships
  • The Shift Toward Cooperative Paradigms
  • The Drive for Sustainability
  • The Impact of Technology
  • The Quest for Reducing Costs
More Information:  If you are interested in hearing more about the presentation, or would like to discuss the possibility of me presenting this material to your agency or organization, please contact me.
