Welcome to the

2013 PSC Annual Conference

Dear Friends:

Welcome to the 2013 PSC Annual Conference. It is gratifying to see such an extraordinary turnout, particularly given the continued uncertainties and challenges our industry and our government customers face. Indeed, it feels like it has become the “new normal” to talk about uncertainty in the government marketplace. But, then again, that is a hallmark that is with us, and will remain so for a while. Hence, that is how the Annual Conference Committee approached its work this year. Through a series of meetings and lengthy discussions, most of them focused on one aspect or another of the current market gyrations, the committee crafted a program designed to explore key facets of the current environment and how they are impacting, or will impact, the federal professional services and technology sectors. From Gen. Michael Hayden’s opening keynote on global insecurity to our closing panel of top government acquisition leaders, the entire conference is built around the challenges, opportunities, and imperatives of the marketplace. As you will see, the agenda includes expert-led discussions and presentations on federal budget scenarios and possibilities; business models; alternative business and market opportunities and strategies; the economy at large; and information assurance. It is our hope that from each portion of the conference, as well as the conference as a whole, you will glean valuable information that genuinely helps inform your own strategic thinking. And as has been a great tradition at each PSC Annual Conference, we have built in a wide range of opportunities for networking, including receptions, ample break times, a networking breakfast and more. We also hope you have downloaded the new PSC Annual Conference mobile app, through which you can follow the agenda, see who else is attending, and facilitate meet-ups of particular interest to you. Please also make sure to visit our PAC raffle table where raffle tickets will be available. The proceeds benefit the PSC Political Action Committee and this year’s prizes include a $500 Apple gift card, wine basket, and two nights at The Greenbrier. We owe a great debt of thanks to the Annual Conference Committee (the members of which can be found on page 29 of this program) for their time, thoughtful input and engagement. And we owe a very special thanks to the committee’s Chair, Kevin Beverly of Social and Scientific Systems, Inc. for the great job he did in his first year as the committee’s leader. Finally, please make sure to do two other things while you are here: • Thank a sponsor. All sponsors are identified as such on their name tags and their support goes directly to PSC’s operating budget. As such, it goes directly to the mission with which we are tasked with executing on your behalf. • Engage. Ask questions, offer insights or observations, and help us ensure the conference is a true conversation. Everyone here has valuable knowledge and expertise and we hope you will feel free to share it. Once again, welcome to the 2013 Annual Conference. If you have any questions at all please ask any member of the PSC staff. Enjoy the conference. And thank you, as always, for your support of PSC Sincerely,

Stan Soloway President and CEO The 2 0 13 An n ual C on f e r e nc e

Profiles

Speakers, presenters, and participants The Honorable Jay Cohen

Principal, The Chertoff Group Former Under Secretary for Science & Technology, Department of Homeland Security Innovative problem solving and science and technology have always been among Jay M. Cohen’s strong points: Early in his naval career he mastered nuclear power training and later commanded a nuclear submarine. He followed with stints as a senior member of the Nuclear Propulsion Examining Board for the U.S. Atlantic Fleet; command of a major surface ship, director of the Navy Y2K Project Office; and chief of naval research. At DHS, Cohen assumed responsibility for evaluating, procuring and coordinating the department’s science and technology assets as well as responsibility across the 22 components of DHS for test and evaluation. He provides the same kind of insightful scientific and technological expertise to clients of The Chertoff Group – expertise that goes far beyond typical recommendations for application of both proven technology and cutting edge solutions. Starting in 2000, as chief of naval research, Cohen was the Department of the Navy’s chief technology officer in wartime, responsible for the Navy and Marine Corps science and technology program to rapidly meet combat technology needs.

Alan D. Cohn

Assistant Secretary for Strategy, Planning, Analysis & Risk Department of Homeland Security Alan D. Cohn is assistant secretary for strategy, planning, analysis and risk in the DHS Office of Policy. Cohn leads a diverse, multi-disciplinary team formed when the functions of the former Office of Risk Management and Analysis were integrated into DHS Policy’s Office of Strategic Plans. Cohn is responsible for work including strategy development, assessment, and evaluation, strategic environment assessment, risk modeling, assessment, and analysis, capability and vulnerability assessment, and economic and statistical analysis. Cohn also plays a key role in ensuring both substantive and structural linkage between strategy and the department’s programming, budgeting, and major acquisition oversight processes. As head of the department’s strategic planning office, Cohn led the first Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR), a year-long strategic review of homeland security involving over 500 subject matter experts that resulted in the QHSR Report (2010) and the FY2012-2016 DHS Strategic Plan. Cohn has also managed strategic assessments in areas such as aviation and surface transportation security, nuclear smuggling, counternarcotics, domain awareness, global supply chain security, cyber security, and emergency preparedness and response. Cohn represents DHS on National Security Staff interagency policy committees and on major strategy reviews such as the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review, the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ Beyond Goldwater-Nichols 4, and the Project on National Security Reform. Cohn has been a member of the career Senior Executive Service since 2007. Cohn previously served as director of emergency preparedness and response policy in the DHS Office of Policy Development from 2006-2008, and was awarded the Secretary’s Silver Medal, the department’s second-highest award, in 2007. Cohn is also an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center, where he teaches classes on domestic preparedness law and national security crisis law.
