NextGen Cost Estimating & Analysis Meetup – February 2019
On Thursday, February 28th Technomics hosted the NextGen Cost Estimating & Analysis Meetup group’s first event of the new year. Ms. Tullar, the Director of Business Plans and Operations at the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), led participants in a discussion about bridging the gap between cost estimation and budget formation. At the NRO, Ms. Tullar is responsible for all business functions, including budget planning, cost estimating, and contracting. With over 22 years of national intelligence resource management experience, Ms. Tullar provided valuable insight to the audience of cost analysts and government leaders.
The late businessman and writer, Alvin Toffler, had said, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” Alvin Toffler was, among his many titles, a futurist. He understood the world was changing and growing in ways that would favor those who changed and grew with it. This meant not becoming complacent with one’s work and mind. To be successful in anything, especially in the workplace, one must always have the mentality that something can be improved and that the mind can always absorb more.
