MYTHBUSTERS: IMPROVING THE ACQUISITION PROCESS THROUGH BETTER COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY 

ACT-IAC views the Mythbusting initiative to be fundamental to our central theme of improving communications and collaboration.

Mythbusting activities have been centralized under the Acquisition Management Shared Interest Group.

The AM SIG recently completed a survey of  government and industry on the awareness and change impacts of the Mythbusting program. WIth more than 2000 respondents, the survey analysis is complete and has been documented in a white paper.

Mythbusting Forum

The Mythbusting working group will release a white paper at the Mythbusting Forum on May 29 at the American Institute of Architects at 1735 New York Avenue, NW.

The AM SIG and Vendor Communications Points of Contact (VCPs) are launching an awards program to recognize agencies and programs with exemplary efforts and results in improving communications between government and industry. Award presentation will be at the Mythbusting Forum on May 29.

Please register to join OMB, DHS, and other agency representatives in a focused discussion and celebrate the success of Mythbuting thus far.

Other activities of the SIG include the expansion of the Myth-busting document library – which now includes Agency Vendor Communication Plans for 13 agencies. This is located in the ACT-IAC Knowledge Bank under “Government IT Community.” For more information on the Acquisition Management Shared Interest Group and Mythbusting Activities in ACT-IAC, contact Ben Coit bcoit@sapient.com or Jeremy Arensdorf jarensdorf@jeffersonconsulting.com of the SIG leadership.
