Practical Risk Strategies for Acquisition Leaders
Thursday, July 16, 2026
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
Federal acquisition professionals operate in an environment shaped by uncertainty.
Funding priorities shift. Supply chains experience disruption. Stakeholder expectations evolve. New technologies emerge. At every stage of the acquisition lifecycle, leaders are expected to make sound decisions while balancing competing priorities and managing risk.
That’s why you should join us for Practical Risk Strategies for Acquisition Leaders, a webinar led by Elena Yearly, CEO of EMY Consulting and a recognized expert in enterprise risk management, financial management, and organizational resilience.
Designed specifically for federal acquisition and contracting professionals, this webinar explores how leaders can strengthen decision-making, improve acquisition outcomes, and build more resilient organizations by applying practical, risk-informed strategies throughout the acquisition lifecycle.
Rather than focusing on compliance checklists or technical risk frameworks, our webinar provides actionable approaches for identifying blind spots, improving organizational awareness, and proactively addressing challenges before they become problems.
Key topics include:
- The growing complexity of today’s acquisition environment
- The difference between compliance-focused risk management and strategic risk awareness
- Common acquisition blind spots that affect program and mission outcomes
- Practical approaches for evaluating tradeoffs and making better decisions under uncertainty
- Strategies for improving acquisition resilience amid operational, vendor, and supply chain disruptions
- Techniques leaders can use immediately to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen organizational responsiveness
- The role emerging technologies, including AI, play in today’s evolving risk landscape
Participants will gain practical insights and real-world examples that can help improve acquisition effectiveness, strengthen resilience, and support better outcomes in uncertain environments.
