Feedback on "How to Buy Professional Services" Speaking Gigs

The two most recent "How to Buy..." events that I have done are the procurement/consultant event in Winnipeg and the American Public Works Association national conference in Columbus Ohio. The written feedback on these events confirm their value to the procurement professional.

In September at the Winnipeg event, 100% of the procurement professionals that completed an evaluation (about 60%) indicated that the event would either cause them to change the way they bought professional services, or recommend to their organization that they change their process when buying professional services.

In Columbus, 83% indicated that as a result of attending the session they were now better able to "differentiate between seemingly similar professional services providers and make selections that are more project-relevant."
