A focused course, tailored for you
Federal Services VP's Portfolio-Authorship Playbook
How a Vice President at a federal services firm anchors a portfolio when delivery rebalances around AI-augmented federal delivery.
When federal services firms rebalance portfolios around AI-augmented delivery, Vice Presidents without published portfolio-authorship narratives read as legacy program cost.

Why this course
Federal services firms running portfolio rebalancing reach Vice President functions in the same operating-model cycle. SVPs above are protected by their division ownership; senior directors below are protected by their direct delivery. The VP layer is the band the deck reviews most carefully.
The Vice Presidents who survive own a documented portfolio strategy with measurable delivery and recompete outcomes, a stakeholder map across agency client and capture leadership, and a quarterly portfolio-state artefact the SVP forwards.
The course covers the three artefacts and the 90-day path to portfolio-authorship framing. Plus a hand-built implementation playbook against your real VP portfolio.
The 12 modules
Module 1. Reading federal rebalancing for VP implications
Federal portfolio rebalancing reorganises VP functions in three phases: enterprise contract-vehicle review, agency-vertical review, and VP-portfolio review. The diagnostic decodes which signals (recompete-win-rate drift, labour-category-cost ratios, AI-augmentation revenue contribution, contract-vehicle-mix shifts) indicate that the VP layer is in the redraw set. Which VPs survive on portfolio coverage and which survive on documented portfolio-authorship.
Module 2. Generic VP vs portfolio-authorship leader
Two structurally different framings of the same federal services VP seat read very differently to the rebalancing review. Generic VP shows up as legacy-program cost with a coverage-ratio number. Portfolio-authorship reads as the leadership the division depends on across recompete cycles: documented portfolio strategy, stakeholder map across agency and capture, and quarterly state artefact the SVP forwards. The three artefacts that mark the shift.
Module 3. Your documented portfolio strategy
Construct the portfolio strategy as an SVP-grade two-page document anchored to measurable delivery and recompete outcomes: program portfolio revenue and margin trends, recompete win-rate, customer-satisfaction scoring, AI-augmented delivery contribution, agency-mission outcome contributions, and expansion pipeline via contract modifications. Three structural templates (transformation-anchored, sustainment-anchored, mission-critical-anchored).
Module 4. Stakeholder map across agency client and capture leadership
Map your stakeholders across agency client (department CIO, agency CFO, mission leaders, contracting officers across portfolio), capture leadership (VP of capture, BD director, solutioning lead, pricing lead), and adjacent partners (technology partners, subcontractor leadership). Format: stakeholder name, sponsorship-level, last meaningful interaction, current dependency status. The map the SVP cites by VP name.
Module 5. Quarterly portfolio-state artefact for the SVP
The quarterly artefact is a two-page state document covering portfolio momentum, agency-client status, capture-team alignment across recompete cycles, AI-augmented delivery outcomes, federal-compliance positioning (ATO, FedRAMP, FISMA, RMF), and emerging risks. Cadence is end-of-quarter delivery to SVP with copies to division executive committee. Three worked examples from real federal services VP portfolios at different rebalancing stages.
Module 6. Working with capture, BD, and contracting officers across portfolio
VP work overlaps capture (multiple recompete-pursuit teams), BD (multi-account expansion via modifications), and contracting officers (contract-modification negotiation, performance reviews across multiple agencies). The collaboration pattern that strengthens defensibility positioning: portfolio artefacts shared with capture, joint pursuit-team executive participation, contracting-officer relationships across portfolio. Examples of capture narratives that elevated a VP to SVP.
Module 7. Federal-specific overlays: ATO, FedRAMP, FISMA, RMF, FAR
Federal services compliance is heavy: ATO (Authority to Operate) sign-offs, FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) for cloud, FISMA (Federal Information Security Modernization Act) for system security, RMF (NIST Risk Management Framework), CMMC for defence supply chain, and FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation). The compliance overlays that strengthen the portfolio narrative as regulator-aware federal leadership.
Module 8. Cross-program leverage
Reusable VP practices that scale across programs: portfolio review templates, ATO-acceleration playbooks, AI-augmented delivery patterns, customer-satisfaction maintenance protocols, capture-coordination cadences. The leverage pattern that signals portfolio-authorship VP leadership rather than program coverage. How to convert delivered VP work into published practice the SVP cites in rebalancing defence.
Module 9. Recompete portfolio preparation
Recompete reads the portfolio-state artefacts: past performance scoring across programs, customer-satisfaction surveys, contract-modification capture rate, key-personnel continuity, and price-to-win analysis. The recompete-preparation cadence (24 months out: portfolio artefacts; 18 months out: capture coordination; 12 months out: solutioning; 6 months out: proposal) and how VP authorship across the cycle protects VP seats and produces winning recompete narratives.
Module 10. Scope statement: VP vs SVP / Division President
Two overlapping seats with different scopes. VP scope covers portfolio delivery, capture leadership, IP authorship at portfolio level. SVP scope adds division-line ownership, succession sponsorship, cross-portfolio leverage, division-cabinet participation. Division President scope adds division-wide P&L and federal-vertical-cabinet responsibilities. The scope statement that puts you in the SVP track defensibly.
Module 11. Promotion mechanics inside federal services VPs
Internal path from VP to SVP to Division President. The promotion artefact (portfolio strategy, agency-client relationship record, recompete-win contribution, federal-compliance leadership) and the cycle calendar (annual performance review, capture-tied promotion review, federal-vertical cabinet announcement). What gets a VP shortlisted, what blocks a VP who is otherwise qualified, and how to time your move.
Module 12. Your 90-day move to portfolio-authorship framing
Day-by-day plan with daily artefacts. Days 1-7: portfolio strategy scaffold drafted from your program inventory. Days 8-21: stakeholder map v1 completed with agency-client sponsorship statuses confirmed. Days 22-45: quarterly artefact v1 delivered to SVP. Days 46-60: division-line ownership conversation. Days 61-90: SVP conversation scheduled with division-cabinet sponsor identified in module 11.
