Procurement Concierge Program in Nebraska | Interview with Doug Carlson, Chief Procurement Officer
In this interview, Nebraska Chief Procurement Officer Doug Carlson discusses the three elements of the state's successful new procurement concierge program:
- Clear expectations set by Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts to identify and remove barriers preventing historically underutilized businesses from working with the state.
- Adopting a customer-oriented mindset, driven by Department of Administrative Services Director Jason Jackson
- Using that customer service mindset to work towards economic inclusion in Nebraska, a concept championed by Nebraska Department of Economic Development Director Tony Goins
Tune into the 20-minute interview to hear about each of these concepts and how they worked together to improve diverse supplier participation in Nebraska.
