Overview
Available in-person or live virtually, this is the sixth and final program for the FPS Leadership Institute. It is a culmination of the five self-paced on demand programs and Session VI – Problem Solving to Achieve Sustainable Outcomes.

This day long live session led by Rex Marks will include best practices in problem solving as well as instructor-led discussion on proven leadership concepts, and a review and discussion of the five previous self-paced sessions. We plan to have participation by guest speakers who have been involved in industry leadership roles throughout their careers.

For those interested in this program, we encourage you to register for the full Leadership Institute and review the materials from the first five self-paced on demand programs before attending this final session.  

In this final session and capstone course you will:
  • Identify steps for effective problem solving in leadership roles 
  • Apply problem solving tools and techniques that are actionable 
  • Develop consistent problem-solving approaches 
  • Understand decision-making processes necessary to government contracting
  • Analyze and evaluate outcomes for improved sustainability
  • Review best practices for leadership 
  • Discuss various aspects of leading, communications, managing and decision making
