SUMMARY:Emerging Issues: Vetting and securing your supply chain
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. \nDetermining what information is needed to design a data driven process to understand and vet your supply chain. Creating a standard review process\, data sharing agreements and records which should be maintained. \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

SUMMARY:Emerging Issues: Beyond Contracts: Conducting Business with the Federal Government
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. \nContracts\, grants\, agreements\, and Other Transaction Authority are four different ways to “conduct business” with the government. Understand the similarities and differences between these business methods and why each is used. Further understand that methods and processes used for one method may not be automatically interchangeable with another method. \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
