SUMMARY:Emerging Issues: Innovation – What does innovation look like from DoD’s perspective?
DESCRIPTION:This series\, WPI’s Emerging Issues Series\, is intended as an information tool and resource for contract managers and those with a compliance function. The topics selected for the initial group of Webinars are just some of the important topics. Some have not held the spotlight like others but nevertheless they are important. Others\, such as Innovation and AI have recently emerged and have shown that they are not just a passing curiosity but truly topics of importance that will continue to impact DoD policy and provide procurement opportunities. These topics included in our first group\, are current topics that need attention and need to be addressed. We expect that over time other issues – topics will emerge and come to the forefront. As these topics are identified we will add them to this series. \nCompanies generally see DoD innovation through DARPA\, SBIT/STTR topics and other DoD R&D focused opportunities. To an extent\, innovation is a one-way conversation. Can companies interested in these opportunities become more successful if they have a better understanding of how DoD looks at innovation? Register for this webinar to gain a better understand of what innovation looks like from DoD’s perspective. Compare and contrast DoD’s perspective with your views to develop a more robust understanding and robust approach. \nPresenter: Marc Violante\, Director\, Federal Market Strategies\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute. \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nFor the list of Emerging Issues webinar\, please click here. \n\nWPI is Wisconsin’s APEX Accelerator
