Government acquisition professionals are performing a “balancing act” as they attempt to address perennial concerns, according to the sixth biennial Acquisition Policy Survey of federal government personnel released by the Professional Services Council and Grant Thornton on December 17.
The 2012 edition of the survey, “The Balancing Act: Acquisition in an Unabated Crisis,” identified three top challenges facing today’s acquisition workforce and explored a decade of survey results, finding common themes that point to a myriad of unresolved issues. Common, unresolved issues included budget stability, workforce resources and capabilities, training and development, and oversight and transparency.
