Do you think published solicitation documents are the same thing as projects? Or that projects don’t exist until they have something published? And that once the solicitation is completed the project is over?
If you read down further on what i posted I stated over 100,000 projects are performed yearly by DND. Instead of copying one part or reading one part. I will see if I can go back and highlight it.
You said 100,000 contracts. A contract is not a synonym for project.
If you start a project with a solicitation, you are going to industry before you know your needs. If you end a project with a solicitation, then you have no fielding and implementation.
How many projects does The Military have going on?
Wat?
A project is a project.
Laugh a bit it makes life alittle more enjoyable.
I did not say on graduation. That Athabaskan MBA can launch your career, where you can climb to the top with little to no actual workforce experience - or any experience outside that initial job (that will get you the leadership of the CPC tho...)
My experience with "top consultants" had led me to the conclusion that they are top because they are best at billing. Those with actual experience are more likely to be in Advisory roles....
FInally, consultants suffer from an LPC problem over the last 10 years - all about plans and never about execution. Consultants in the most notorious of the big firms (ie all of them) don't execute because that kills their own business. Politicians don't execute because it is harder to do than to say....
They sell KPIs. Doesn't mean they use them themselves...
CID has been deprecated for several years. Replaces by a SharePoint site that's got the same data quality issues, but at least isn't a janky Access database in the backend.What are you referring to as ‘projects?’
If you mean major and minor capital projects and even projects categorized as miscellaneous requirements, per the Defence Services Program definition, the number is most certainly not hundreds of thousands.
Internal to DND, the Capability Initiatives Database (CID) most likely has a fraction of the number of projects that you state; externally, there are even fewer projects listed on the Defence Capabilities Database (CDB) website, that meet what many would consider ‘projects.’

If your going to include every procurement expenditure down to L3s/L4s, then 100K+ or buying things could be a valid claim.

Wonder if he was promised changes in the fall sitting?
Could be I guess? Bill C-31 is in HoC committee and is the operative legislation for the defence procurement reforms, so legislative amendment is already underway.
Yeah but the government doesn’t really give a shit about those. We’ve seen the new crew can move pretty quick on some stuff if they’re of a mind to. I think we’ll see their majority leveraged to ram priorities through in the fall session.
Passing legislation and trusting the bureaucracy to execute is not a sound way to advance, based on past performance.
Plus the CPC might not fight to hard on defense procurement stuff.
