Yes, I would see that this type of project requires buy-in, and without the trust of your partners, and also a good relationship with your vendors.... I don't think anyone expects Shared Services Canada to deliver on this alone, but it needs to have appropriate relationships with its outside vendors in order to deliver successfully on the projects. I've been hearing a lot about the project management vis-à-vis outside vendors, and whether or not something could be done there, whether the procurement that was done initially on these projects contained the right types of management systems in the contract, and oversight, so that your department was able to effectively manage these contracts.
What are your thoughts on that?
