Webinar: State Best Practices in Contract Administration
|
|
|
June 22, 2017 at 3:30 p.m. ET
|
Procurement is ranked as one of the top three policy and administrative priorities by NASCA members, and most state government officials would agree that contract administration can be one of the most substantial challenges in this area.
Join NASCA for the first webinar in a three-part series addressing contract administration from multiple vantage points. During this webinar,
Michigan and Washington experts will share state best practices in contract administration.
Participants will learn about:
- Strategies and tactics of peers from Washington and Michigan
- Resources and toolkits used to help effectively conduct contract administration
- How to manage complex contract relationships
Speakers:
- Brom Stibitz, Chief Deputy Director, Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget
- Jim Colangleo, Chief Procurement Officer, Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget
- Chris Liu, Director, Washington State Department of Enterprise Services
- Christine Warnock, CPPO, CPPB, Strategic Business Initiatives Manager, Washington State Department of Enterprise Services
The webinar series will continue later this summer, when industry representatives will present on contract administration from the private sector perspective. A third webinar scheduled for this fall will dive into new approaches and resources on contract administration.
Register here. After registering, you will receive a calendar invitation that will include the log in information, approximately one week prior to the webinar.

2017 NASCA Institute on Management and Leadership

Atlanta, GA
The Institute on Management and Leadership is a premier and engaging two-day executive education program led by the Leadership for a Networked World at Harvard University. This event invites state chief administrators and industry leaders to work side-by-side to discuss challenges for 2017 and develop new tools for success in state government.
Registration and sponsorship opportunities are now available. This year's theme is the Velocity of Change.
Earlier this month, the planning committee selected the two case study concepts (see below) that Leadership for a Networked World at Harvard University will prepare for the Institute. Thank you to all state members who submitted case study ideas for this very competitive selection process.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: HR and IT Consolidation
Pennsylvania is currently in the journey to transition 3,000 information technology and human resource full time employees
into the Office of Administration to create a delivery center model. This restructuring will improve services while also reducing costs and streamlining collective efforts. The unified model will also shift HR from a functional perspective to a HR as a business service. Although they're early in the effort, the state has already transitioned several transactional HR functions such as payroll, open-enrollment, off-boarding, and several IT functions like emails, telecom and data centers are already centralized.
State of Tennessee: Alternative Workforce Solutions
Tennessee Department of General Services has adopted a new workforce strategy that
leverages technology to provide customer-centric services at a lower cost and manage
the risk of having a workforce in which 50 percent are eligible to retire over the next five years.
This program, which began with the financial institutions and economic and community
development agencies, introduces work from home, mobile work, and free address
programs.

NASCA Facilities Management Roundtable Wrap Up

acts for facilities management.
"The information on the implementation of the dramatic changes to Tennessee state government was very useful. It put things in perspective for some of the things we are doing in my state."
