Chat with Lisa! What is the best way for me to listen and hear industry feedback on Integrations?

Submitted by Integrations Blogger on Thursday, January 19, 2012 - 11:47 AM

Hello and welcome back to the Integrations Blog!

The business case is not yet approved. Once it is, GSA will move into the acquisition phase. Our first step is working with customers to draft acquisition documents.

I also want to bring industry into the mix. We intend to post draft documents to FedBizOpps and Interact for industry comment during this process.

I know many of you are bursting with great ideas and would love to spend an hour or two with me, sharing those thoughts. Much as I'd love to sit down with every interested company, I think that there are more efficient ways we can find for you to provide that feedback. My goals are to leverage technology, move faster, ensure a fair and open process, and give you multiple channels. I am committed to giving you several opportunities to comment while we go along this path.

Today's question is: What is the best way for me to listen and hear industry feedback?

For example, I could set up "speed listening" sessions whereby industry signs up for ten (10) minute intervals to come/call and let me and my team know what you think about Integrations. Other ideas include a collective Webinar where industry provides GSA feedback in a general technologically supported setting. Additionally, you may always submit input to our mailbox at integrated.services@gsa.gov. Tell me, what will work best for you in giving GSA feedback?

<p>Hi Lisa,</p><p>How about using IdeaScale?  It is already a tool used by GSA, and that would be a nice tie in that you would use an IT tool to gather feedback from industry on a procurement that is IT based.  You could post the draft documents and then industry could comment on different aspects/ideas and then have industry vote on the ideas or comments.  This could ensure that industry is truly engaged in this effort.</p><p> </p><p>Craig</p>
