About This Workshop
Reduce
the performance that leads to protests, delays, cost overruns, and
substandard performance with this two-day interactive workshop. Program
and contracting personnel will continue and extend the conversion
journey to creating effective performance based requirements with
a focus on: developing realistic, consistent, non-restrictive needs;
clearly stating objectives; troubleshooting problems before release,
and relating performance results to the program, strategic and budgetary
domains.
Students are invited
to bring a recent Statement of Work for team-based improvement and
one-on-one consultation with our expert instructor, Steven Stryker.
A
new government report recommends contract training to achieve better
federal contracting results.
