Why this course

Vice Presidents running CGI public-sector consulting in the US face FY26 procurement cycles where federal customers want IT modernisation outcomes and shorter timelines than the BPA contracting vehicles historically delivered. State and local customers want AI procurement readiness ahead of the next legislative cycle. Every customer wants fixed-price structures with clear outcome definitions. The Big4 federal consulting practices are sharpening fixed-price proposals. The default CGI engagement pattern leans time-and-materials with milestone payments; the new customer profile reads time-and-materials as risk transfer the customer is no longer willing to absorb.

The course works through the integrated engagement pattern. The federal IT modernisation pattern under FY26 cycles. The state and local AI procurement readiness pattern. The public-sector data residency posture pattern. The fixed-price-with-clear-outcomes engagement structure. The customer-side stakeholder map (programme office, contracting officer, agency CIO, OIG). The pricing framework. The risk framework. The Big4 differentiation framework. Twelve modules with deliverables. Plus a hand-built playbook for your account mix.

Before and after

Before

Time-and-materials engagement structure reads as risk transfer the customer no longer absorbs. Big4 fixed-price proposals win the FY26 pipeline. CGI loses pipeline.

After

Integrated fixed-price-with-clear-outcomes engagement structure. CGI competes on the new ground. Big4 differentiation holds. Account development structure converts wins to multi-year relationships.

What happens if you do not address this

FY26 procurement cycles begin shortly. Public-sector consulting practices that arrive with the legacy engagement structure lose pipeline that does not return.

Who it is for

For CGI Vice Presidents and senior consulting leaders in the public-sector practice, principal consultants serving federal customers, senior consulting leaders at peer public-sector consulting firms, and senior account managers carrying federal pipelines.

Who this is NOT for. Pure non-public-sector practitioners. Practitioners with no federal contracting context. Pure non-consulting roles.

How it arrives

Text-based course via LMS, plus downloadable templates and worked examples and the hand-built playbook.

Time investment. Roughly 18 hours of reading and 60 to 120 hours of build effort across the 10-week plan.
