Tailored Program Management Workshops for the VA

As the VA faces challenges due to retiring expertise, Shoulder 2 Shoulder (S2S) supports program managers with custom workshops. Our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and Facilitators provide direct program and project management training, focusing on best practices and processes for complex projects. Key services include gap analyses, tailored workshops, and hands-on coaching. Workshops cover areas like program planning and acquisition preparedness, with continuous improvement built into every session to ensure future success.
