Acquisition Reform (WSARA) Webinar Discusses Lessons Learned and Way Forward
If you are interested in government acquisition reform be sure to register for this webinar.  Bob Hunt, Galorath VP of Services, was a senior Pentagon official the last time around and will share both what was learned from before and how to apply these to the current WSARA (Weapons System Acquisition Reform Act).  Here is the webinar invitation.
Acquisition Reform (WSARA) And How It Impacts Your Estimations: Looking Forward And Lessons Learned
Weapons systems acquisition reform has been a recurring topic within the Department of Defense for many years.
Mr. Bob Hunt, Galorath’s V.P. of Professional Services, was a Senior Pentagon official during the previous Acquisition Reform initiatives. He has since been active in the contractor community.  Mr. Hunt will offer a unique perspective on how these acquisition reforms will impact both the Government and the contractor estimating communities.
This WebEx will discuss the unique implications of the latest reform on the cost and schedule estimating process, including:
 Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation
Directors of DT&E and Systems Engineering Performance Assessments & Root Cause Analysis
 Assessment of Technology Maturity
 Trade-Offs in Cost, Schedule and Performance
 Critical Cost Growth in MDAPs
 Earned Value Management
Required Reports
 Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation
 How some of the SEER applications can be advantageously applied for Pre-milestone A estimates
 And much more!
Much (or some) of this has been tried before, e.g. Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986; also discussed in The Cost Analysis Improvement Group: A History by Srull, Margolis, and McNicol. WSARA is being driven by the continued and sometimes surprising growth in the cost and schedule of Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs).
