Executive Briefing: Positioning Your Company in the Current Government Paradigm
SECAF’s Executive Briefing Series kicks off this year with Corey Nickens, Client Executive, from GSA’s Assisted Acquisition Service (AAS). Corey will provide perspective on procurement trends throughout Government, while also discussing the changes at GSA’s AAS and OCAS offices. Corey will also discuss GSA’s effort to support SBIRs and CSOs across government. GSA represents the largest channel into the US Federal market, attendees will learn how partner with and leverage GSA’s AAS and OCAS acquisition capabilities.
This conversation will be followed by an educational presentation on corporate storytelling and how to optimize federal messaging from business development through orals. The session will explore how messaging should evolve across phased down-selects, how to communicate more effectively with evaluators, how evaluator psychology shapes what gets heard and remembered, and how emerging acquisition practices, including FAR 2.0, may influence the way companies position and communicate their value.
