BLANE’S CHALLENGE, DIRECTOR, FEDLINK AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

  • Become the Executive Agent for all information products procured in the Federal government, which amounts to over $515M annually
  • FEDLINK had just one hour to present its vision and program merits to OMB’s Strategic Sourcing Working Group. OMB’s Group was comprised of senior acquisition leaders from across the government
  • This was a defining moment in its 36-year history
  • And…it had to be developed and practiced in just two short weeks

  • Unified the talking points, visuals/imagery, and success stories into a cohesive and compelling presentation

  • Employed a variety of tools to help Blane deliver THE perfect presentation.
