Keynote Speaker

Visionary Panel : How to Guide on Requirements Management

Federal regulations and agency policies can slow down the procurement processes. This stops an organization from being able to utilize the newest technologies.  How can an organization deliver goods and services faster, more accurately, and with more predictable outcomes while following the needed guidelines? Tune in to this session to hear the challenges and successes of operating within the parameters of an organization’s requirements.

Emerging Technology Talk 

Visionary Panel : Emerging Technology as a Tool for Source Selection

Many organizations have budgets that expire at the end of the fiscal year. This can cause a rush to utilize the funds and may lead to choosing low-quality projects at the year’s end. In fact, spending in the last week of the year is 4.9 times higher than the rest of the year, according to the American Economic Review! How can an agency insure that their funds are being used in the best ways possible? There have been recent studies on the performance of machine learning and various data analytics practices helping organizations to limit their risks when choosing a project. By analyzing workforce, costs, financial health, influence, supply chains, past performance, and other factors, automated tools can help managers focus their resources on potential risks that might have been buried in large, diverse data.

Listen in as Federal government leaders discuss how ML can be implemented in their source selection processes and where they see the future of source selection heading!

Visionary Panel : A Focus on Vendor Management, Silo Breakdown, and More

Federal leaders have discussed the challenges and successes of abiding organizational requirements as well as the abilities of ML in source selection. But, what if the problem lies within their own organization? A silo-style workflow may inhibit procurement as departments focus on their own goals, instead of the organization at large. Panelists will discuss how to break down silos, centralized Vendor Management, and address changing regulations quickly.
