A series of focus groups will be held in Virginia later this month to allow federal project professionals to interact with their peers and discuss current challenges and successes.
With more than 130 projects on the Office of Management and Budget’s “Management Watch List” for 2007, it is clear that federal project managers face myriad challenges keeping projects on budget, on schedule and within scope. To further examine the current state of program management in Federal contracting, project and portfolio management solutions provider Primavera and marketing consulting agency O’Keefe & Company are holding a series of management focus groups to allow federal project professionals to interact with their peers and discuss current challenges and successes.
Separate focus groups will be held for Department of Defense, Federal Civilian and Systems Integrator managers. The dates, locations and times for each group are:
Sept. 25 - Alexandria, Va. - 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. - Federal Civilian Managers
Sept. 26 - Fairfax, Va. - 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. - Systems Integrator Managers
Sept. 27 - Alexandria, Va. - 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. - Department of Defense Managers
For each person who signs up to attend one of the government management focus group, Primavera and O’Keefe will make a $20 donation to the Leadership VA Alumni Association Service Member Support, a group
