As announced here in my December 31st, 2009 post “Exciting New Vistas Await the PI Window on Business Show in 2010,” we have launched the new Business Thought Leaders Series in which we will be joined by industry experts to share their perspectives on the key areas of everyday business including Venture Capital investment, logistics and supply chain practice as well as personal & corporate branding, sales & marketing and workforce motivation.

Leveraging her more than 20 years of experience advising more than 6000 clients on success in government contracts that collectively have accounted for revenues in excess of $300 million US, Judy will take us through her critically acclaimed “Seven Steps to Success” presentation. As a supplier you will gain the necessary insights to shorten the time-line between the response to government tenders, and the realization of tangible revenue. As a government procurement professional, you will find the answers to why bid responses have been declining and with it the value in both pricing and quality of service.

Starting on Monday, January 18th between 3:00 and 4:30 PM EST, the first of seven parts will be a special 90 minute segment in which we will provide a 30 minute general overview of the current state of Government Contracting. In the remaining 60 minutes of this initial broadcast we will then delve into the specifics of each of the seven steps starting with Strategy.

On every second Monday from that point on we will review the remaining steps which include; Focus, Process, Competition, Teaming, Relationships and Marketing.
