Reinvigorate Policy
Well-constructed policy provides a framework to promote and accelerate sound, consistent operational decision making. The optimal policy structure also promotes compliance with all applicable statutory, regulatory and management directives. To achieve these benefits, developing, maintaining and communicating acquisition policy must operate as a dynamic, ongoing process.
The Acquisition Solutions policy model offers a proven methodology for analyzing, developing, and implementing policies that maintain currency and direction for your acquisition organization. The policy process starts with identifying the problem to be addressed and then determines if existing policy addresses it adequately.
- Review all existing policy, and determine its general currency and completeness
- Benchmark other agencies implementation policy
- Prioritize recommendations based on gap analysis and the organization
- Identify problems
- Conduct research
- Involve stakeholders
- Test and select alternative policies
- Disseminate and Communicate
- Monitor and report on effectiveness
The most brilliantly conceived and elegantly crafted policies, processes and procedures provide little operational benefit unless front line personnel put them into practice in daily operations. Ideally, follow up assessments will evaluate implementation of policy guidance in operations, its effectiveness promoting sound operational decision making and identify the need for revision or further implementation effort. This process yields better results from relying on the success of other agencies in crafting policy and continually refining and adjusting policy based on feedback about what works in promoting sound operational decision making.
Keeping up with the fast-paced changes in policy and rules in the federal acquisition environment is daunting to say the least.
