Thinking about getting on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS)? The first crucial step is crafting a comprehensive proposal. Here are some essential Do's to guide you through the process: 🔍 Plan Thoroughly for the GSA Schedule Process - Before you start, verify that the GSA Schedule is the right path for your business using the Readiness Assessment tool. This will help determine your company's competitiveness on the GSA. - Understand the entire process upfront to develop a clear and effective plan. 📝 Pay Attention to Every Detail - Make sure all required documents are included; missing a single document can result in rejection. Maintain a checklist to ensure you have everything covered. - Ensure all templates, such as the Price Proposal Template, are thoroughly completed. Review everything meticulously to catch any errors or omissions. 👥 Assemble a Cross-Functional Team - Engage members from different departments early on to gather all necessary information. - If possible, create a dedicated team specifically for preparing the proposal. Preparing a GSA Schedule proposal is no small task, but with careful planning and attention to detail, you can increase your chances of success! #GSASchedule #GSAMAS #GovernmentContracts #FederalContracts #BusinessDevelopment #ProposalPreparation #CrossFunctionalTeam #AttentionToDetail #ThoroughPlanning #RMC #SmallBusinessSuccess #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #ManagementConsulting #OperationsSupport #CompetitiveEdge #QualityManagement #ISO9001 #GovCon #ReadinessAssessment

We are excited to share our new series: “JPSM ground-breaking articles”. In this series, we ask past editors and current associate editors to share their JPSM ground-breaking articles with us.    In the first edition, we have Robert Suurmond’s pick for JPSM’s ground-breaking article. He elected Prof. Dr. Stephan Wagner and René Kemmerling's “Supply Chain Management Executives in Corporate Upper Echelons.”    Robert advocates for more SCM leadership, especially in the complexity of today’s world:  “In the 2010s, purchasing has taken on an increasingly strategic function, accompanied by a movement toward more "supply chain management" as an overarching concept. One of the first articles to describe how this translates to a top management team is Wagner and Kemmerling (2014) – to my knowledge, not only within our PSM literature but also outside of it. After that, the literature has focused on the effect of these SCM executives on organizational performance. But there is more, somewhat ignored until now, to be said about the individual roles and tasks of SCM leaders. In the current era of global transitions, disruptions, and climate change, SCM leadership is needed more than ever.”   The link to the article is provided in the first comment.    #JPSM #SupplyChain #Purchasing #Leadership #SCM #PSM #groundbreakingarticles    Lisa Ellram, Louise Knight, Erik van Raaij, Asta Salmi, Prof. Dr. Stephan Wagner, Prof. Dr. Lydia Bals, Ednilson Bernardes, Federico Caniato, Scott DuHadway, Reham Eltantawy, Michael Eßig, Marco Formentini, Jury Gualandris, Remko Van Hoek, Thomas E.

Do not fall into the trap of thinking that your CMDB issues are technology issues. Most organizations struggle more with non-technical aspects much more than the technical. Further, if you don't get these areas right, the technology aspects don't matter. For clarity, I'm talking about aspects like scope, governance, personnel, process, etc. Make sure that you are following the Service Management Leadership company page
