Welcome

Dr. Sherilyne Dougherty, CEO
July might seem like the time to kick back and enjoy the lazy days of summer. But at DAI, we're sizzling! I'm proud to announce that we are kicking off new projects with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs. We're set to launch the GSA SmartPay Virtual Training Forum at the end of July and are well on our way to planning the 2014 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award Ceremony held in September.  


Thank you for supporting the DAI Advisor, and remember, past editions can always be accessed on our archive page.
The Art of Fishing in Client Relations

 "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he'll never go hungry." Is it really that simple? This often overused adage is applicable both for our peers (federal consulting firms) and our clients (government agencies). In an era of slashed budgets and contract insourcing, how can we teach clients to fish while still maintaining a competitive edge?

DAI: Winning in July!

We're excited to announce new contracts, partnerships and renewed opportunities for success. Just this month: 

  • DAI won a prime contract with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to help implement its Hire to Retire human resources IT (HRIT) system. Partnering with 3TI, DAI staff will be positioned on-site at HHS to provide change management, communications and learning support.  
  • DAI recently won a five-year, prime contract to plan, manage, and deliver ongoing virtual and web-based training for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) HR Academy. Our award-winning team will help VA's HR staff continue their professional growth. DAI is partnered with FPMI and SRA on this effort.
Continuing Our Support for
the Department of Defense

After a successful first year, we recently kicked off another exciting venture with the Department of Defense Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) and Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program (YRRP). The programs support the professional and personal well-being of National Guard and Reserve members and their families. DAI is privileged to provide a second year of supporting outreach and media campaigns as well as the prestigious Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award Ceremony.

GSA SmartPay Virtual Training
Forum Kicks Off

At the end of July, we will launch our first virtual training conference for the General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Charge Card Management (OCCM). The GSA SmartPay Virtual Training Forum is scheduled for July 29-31, with more than 3,500 participants from across the federal government expected to join. The DAI team is busy coordinating GSA, bank, and other agency presenters conducting 110 concurrent webcast sessions over the three days. We look forward to sharing our lessons learned on how to maximize learning through a virtual environment.
