Government Professional Services (GPS) workshop : session #4 : making GPS companies profitable
<p>Many of the companies had different business models in terms of how they planned to make the business profitable in terms of the types of projects or contracts that were pursued or in their bidding practices. On fixed price contracts, how did the companies manage the projects to insure that costs were within contract boundaries? How did they provide change control so that modifications in the specifications which would increase the costs were renegotiated with the client to get compensated for these changes? We asked the participants to describe the financial history of their companies in terms of sources of investment funds, revenues, costs and profits. The session starts with a discussion from CDSI whose representative just joined the meeting.</p>
