The DASHBOARD Act would impose several data-disclosure requirements on large companies that monetize online user data. The Act assumes a market failure of information asymmetry, where consumers undervalue their personal data. However, the evidence for this claim is indeterminate, and a lack of clarity on data property rights and liability could make corresponding rules difficult to enforce.

Hire The Best Without Making A Mess! Application forms, background checks, the interview process, immigration status, and even actions during the onboarding process are fraught with legal landmines these days. There are more privacy protections, employment laws, immigration requirements and lawsuits (including class action lawsuits) filed today than ever before based on the hiring and onboarding process. It is critical that all employers know which policies, procedures, and questions are required and safe when hiring and onboarding employees, and which are not.

While creatively designing this piece I realized how much residents of our City could benefit from knowing more about the Procurement process.
It’s a great resource for newly certified firms, or certified firms that are looking to gain more insight and information about qualifying for contracts.
The Business-to-Government market is about strategic positioning to take advantage of opportunity. Small businesses must be prepared to take advantage of the opportunities because contracts between $3,000-100,000 must be awarded to small businesses. However, small businesses MUST RESPOND or allow the government to compete the opportunity without restriction. Without restriction enables large prime contractors to secure federal business, then subcontract the business to small businesses for a large percentage of the profits.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Doing Business With The Department of Defense (DOD)
1. 1
GUIDE TO DOD CONTRACTING OPPORTUNITIES
A Step by Step Approach to the DoD Marketplace
There are several basic steps every company should do to increase their ability to contract in the
marketplace. Becoming a government contractor can increase your company’s growth in many
ways. Follow the links to prepare for doing business with the government.
1. Identify your product or service.
It is essential to know the Federal Supply Class or Service (FSC/SVC) codes, the Product
Service Codes (PSCs) and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes
for your products, services or industry in which your organization normally does business.
Many government product/service listings and future procurements are identified according
to the PSC. Select the PSC Manual https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=node/3637 or NAICS
Code http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/.
The North American Industry Classification System or NAICS is used by business and
government to classify business establishments according to type of economic activity
(process of production) in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
2. Obtain a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number and register in the
System for Award Management (SAM).
You must register your Entity (business, individual, or government agency) to do business
with the Federal Government. If you do not have a DUNS Number, contact Dun and
Bradstreet to obtain one at http://www.dnb.com/us/. After obtaining a DUNS number, you
should register in the System for Award Management (SAM) for contracts at
http://www.sam.gov. A DUNS Number and SAM registration are prerequisites for any
contract award. SAM is the Official U.S. Government system that consolidated the
capabilities of the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), ORCA, and EPLS. It is a
database designed to hold information relevant to procurement and financial transactions.
SAM affords you the opportunity for fast electronic payment of your invoices. Entities may
register at no cost directly from the Website. User guides and webinars are available under
the Help tab.
3. Vendors must obtain a Contractor and Government Entity Code (CAGE) or NATO
Contractor and Government Entity (NCAGE) Code.
The CAGE Code (for U.S. vendors) and NCAGE Code (for foreign vendors) is a required
piece of data for registering in SAM. If you are a vendor located in the U.S. and do not
have a CAGE Code, a CAGE Code will be assigned to you when you register in SAM
system for the first time. The CAGE Welcome information page is at https://cage.dla.mil/
A foreign vendor must contact its country representative to receive its NCAGE Code
assignment. A list of country representatives can be found at
2. 2
http://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/main/links/contacts.htm. The NCAGE Code request
form is at https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx.
4. As a small business, explore programs with the Small Business Administration (SBA).
DoD Small Business Specialists are located at each DoD buying activity to provide
assistance on how to market to the DoD. See http://www.acq.osd.mil/osbp and click one of
the following “Links”, “for Small Business - Doing Business with DoD”, or “DoD Small
Business Offices”
The Small Business Administration (SBA) offers assistance and certification in preference
programs to small business concerns, go to https://www.sba.gov/. Procurement Technical
Assistance Centers are located in most states and partially funded by DoD to provide small
business concerns with information on how to do business with the DoD. See
http://www.aptac-us.org/new/. They provide training and counseling on marketing,
financial, and contracting issues at minimal or no cost.
Government Services Administration (GSA) helps small businesses stay competitive in the
federal market. Online and onsite federal experts offer small businesses the training tools to
succeed, go to http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/21983.
5. Identifying current DoD procurement opportunities.
Businesses should first visit Federal Business Opportunities, or FedBizOpps, and register at
the website to be notified of newly posted opportunities in their industries. FedBizOpps is
the official Website that allows the private sector to electronically access government-wide
procurement opportunities. FedBizOpps provides a comprehensive database of all major
government solicitations, contract awards, subcontracting opportunities, surplus property
sales, and foreign business opportunities with the federal government and is located at
http://www.fedbizopps.gov.
Many agencies, military departments and contracting offices also have procurement
Websites. Check the individual sites for other possible sources of information.
6. Familiarize yourself with DoD contracting regulations and procedures.
Familiarize yourself with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
https://www.acquisition.gov/?q=browsefar and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/dfarspgi/current/index.html.
7. Investigate Federal Supply Schedule (FSS).
As the centralized procurement arm for the federal government, GSA offers products,
services, and facilities needed by federal agencies for serving the public. In turn, GSA
offers businesses the opportunity to sell billions of dollars’ worth of products and services to
those agencies.
3. 3
The General Services Administration (GSA) Schedules (also referred to as Multiple Award
Schedules and Federal Supply Schedules) Program, establishes long-term government-wide
contracts with commercial firms to provide access to over 11 million commercial supplies
(products) and services. These can be ordered directly from GSA Schedule contractors or
through the http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/104677 online shopping and ordering system.
While the GSA Schedules Program is only one of GSA’s procurement vehicles, it is one of
the largest programs and the most preferred for commercial products and services. Contact
the GSA for information on how to obtain a schedule contract, go to
http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/197989.
8. Explore EMALL Contracts.
DOD EMALL shifts the acquisition paradigm away from repetitive small purchases to
establishment of broad contractual arrangements and functions as a single entry point for
DOD customers seeking to acquire off-the-shelf, finished goods from the commercial
marketplace.
The EMALL website https://dod.emall.dla.mil/acct/ provides information on how to be a
supplier or vendor for DoD EMALL. EMALL is the DoD equivalent of a dot.com mega
store. It allows the DoD customer to have internet access to over 12 million national stock
number products and commercial items for purchase and delivery at Government negotiated
prices. Buyers can use MILSTRIP or Government purchase card and have reconciliation
power at their fingertips. DoD EMALL provides the transparency, velocity, and versatility
that today's DoD buyers and suppliers demand.
9. Seek additional assistance, as needed, in the DoD marketplace.
There are several important resources that are available to assist you in the DoD
marketplace:
Doing Business with DoD website provides links to the homepages of the DoD activities
http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/cpic/cp/doing_business_with_the_department_of_defense_
dod_us.html
• The Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP) website
http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/index.html. DPAP is responsible for all Contracting and
Procurement policy matters including e-Business in the Department of Defense (DoD).
Click on the “eBusiness” tab for more information on a number of systems with which
you should be familiar.
The Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation (FPDS-NG) at
https://www.fpds.gov/fpdsng_cms/index.php/en/ is the official web site for all federal
procurement data and reports. This site requires registration for a user account and is free to
the public.
4. 4
10. Look for Subcontracting opportunities.
Regardless of your product or service, it is important to consider our very large secondary
market. We encourage you to consider contractor teaming arrangements.
The Small Business Administration’s SUB-Net http://web.sba.gov/subnet/search/index.cfm
is a valuable source for obtaining information on subcontracting opportunities. Solicitations
or notices are posted not only by prime contractors, but the SUB-Net is also used by other
government, commercial, and educational entities. We encourage you to investigate
potential opportunities with these firms many of which also have websites that may be
useful.
11. Investigate other DoD programs.
There are several other programs that may be of interest to you, such as the DoD Mentor-
Protégé Program, the Small Business Innovation Research Program, and the Historically
Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions Program. Information on these
and other programs is available on the DoD Office of Small Business Programs website,
http://www.acq.osd.mil/osbp.
12. Familiarize yourself with the DoD's electronic invoicing capabilities.
Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) e-Business Suite is DoD's primary system for the electronic
processing of invoices and receiving reports. By submitting your invoices and receiving
reports through the Web, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), or File Transfer Protocol
(FTP), they will be routed electronically, resulting in more efficient payments to you.
More information on WAWF can be found at https://wawf.eb.mil/.
13. Market your product or service well.
After you have identified your customers, researched their requirements, and
familiarized yourself with DoD procurement regulations and strategies, it is time to
market your product or service. Present your capabilities to the DoD activities that buy
your products or services. USASpending.gov at http://www.usaspending.gov also
contains current DoD procurement data. This data can assist your marketing efforts.
Realize that, like you, their time is valuable, but if the match is a good one, you can
provide them with a cost-effective, quality solution to meet their requirements.
As of 11/16/2016
