The Acquisition Facilitation Network Community of Practice (COP) is an inter-agency community dedicated to empowering acquisition success through expert facilitation. Composed of experienced facilitators and co-facilitators, as well as those seeking to grow their facilitation skills, our members are committed to driving stakeholder alignment, collaboration, and consensus-building to achieve Integrated Project Team (IPT) and acquisition goals.
We also deliver high-quality, requirements development and acquisition planning workshops across the government with opportunities for network members to lead, co-facilitator, and/or observe to help grow their skills.
