Performance Based Contracting - A Three-Day Workshop

 

This three-day workshop will assist agencies in meeting their performance-based aquisition (PBA) goals. The workshop provides a step-by-step analysis that will enable you to successfully conduct a performance-based acquisition and minimize the risk of protest. Topics include: overview of the performance based acquisition process, identification and explanation of the key instances for performance based requirements, development of those requirements including stronger program rationale, description of work, definitive outputs, and forming and using performance metrics. Learn a step by step approach you can use to get the right requirements defined at the right time so that better contractors can be chosen and stronger performance can occur.

Performance Work Statements Workshop

 

Based on a series of legislative acts and the changing perspective and emphasis in Congress, trying to achieve stronger performance is not merely “nice to have”, but becoming the modus operandi for agency programs. Yet, doing a better job of defining and measuring performance has been an “eternal” challenge in federal activities. Given the mandate to develop and implement the “pieces” for effective performance management, this two-day workshop will create synergy as proof positive that performance management can work and work better. Attend and learn a step by step approach you can use to get both stakeholder buy in and performance you and your organization requires. Live examples, case studies and best practices will enable accountability to increase among the contract, program, strategic planning, investment, budget and enterprise architecture domains.

 

Continuing Education: This workshop is recommended for 16 Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) toward DAWIA/FAC-C requirements. A Government*Horizons "Certificate of Completion" will be provided to all attendees upon conclusion of the workshop.
