Registration: Mapping the U.S. DOD Acquisitions Ecosystem |
The Washington, D.C. defense policy community is a robust ecosystem with frequent new entrants at every level. For government personnel, there are numerous sources for training on acquisition, often focused on developing acquisition management skills on the way to formal DAWIA certification. However, these assets are not always accessible to those without U.S. government affiliation; the ecosystem lacks an overview of defense acquisition available to the broader community. Join the Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group (DIIG) and Executive Education for a one-day course that fills this niche by providing an overview of acquisition, including topics such as setting contract requirements, the formal acquisition process, a historical overview of how we got to the current state of play, and some current topics including export controls, inflation, industrial base competition, rare earth elements, and data rights.
