Objectives

Given the latest policy requirements, interpret current acquisition policy, process and lessons learned while assessing your role as an acquisition leader.

Given real-world acquisition scenarios, critique comparative management styles and techniques to determine a personalized approach to various situations.

Given faculty and guest speaker presentations/discussions, distinguish the characteristics that contribute to the changing acquisition environment.

Given the breadth and changing environment of acquisition, select the right questions to ask at the right time to assess the health/progress/status of a program and the reasons therefore.

Given the various acquisition topics presented and discussed, explain what is important about each topic and why that’s important with respect to the “big Picture” in acquisition.
