Description:

Do you want to know more about possible changes to the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution System (PPBES)?  Do you want to learn some tips to help you operate within the current system? The PPBES is a critical part of the "Big A" acquisition decision support system.  While the system has served us well, it has come under increasing criticism as being too slow and lacking the agility needed to meet the demands of rapidly changing technology and threats of peer competitors.  Congress recently chartered a commission to assess PPBES and recommend improvements. 

This distinguished panel will explore how PPBES and defense resourcing might change.  It will also offer suggestions on what can acquisition professionals do in the meantime to optimize their resources while working within the current system.
