The drumbeat continues.  Personnel.  Procurement.  If it’s not one, it’s the other.   Yesterday, we shared an article about personnel management.  Today, we read more about procurement weaknesses and shortcomings which impair our government’s effectiveness and lose oodles of money.

One of our loyal readers, Joe, weighed in yesterday about one of his favorite topics – personnel practices affecting the federal workforce – and provided his usual insightful take on the situation.  But as for the survey results saying that the government procurement practices are not up to private industry’s standards, what do you think?

If it is true, how are we going to move beyond our current sub-optimal state into one of excellence?

Give us your thoughts.
