Public Dollars at Work: Sharing Stories of Procurement’s Impact

Every public dollar tells a story. Behind each investment is the work of procurement teams turning public resources into outcomes. What’s the story behind your work that deserves to be told?

As a procurement professional, the impact of your work is everywhere. It’s the newly paved street you drive on, the meals students can count on during school, equipment to service critical infrastructure, new fire trucks serving the local community, and more. Government stakeholders and residents alike may see the outcome or feel the impact but may not understand the role public procurement plays. But, behind each of these moments is a procurement story worth telling. 

Join PEN for a dynamic 90-minute interactive session to help build confidence in crafting compelling narratives that turn everyday impact into stories that show how your team is making procurement work for the public good! Part training, part hands-on workshop, during this session we’ll explore: 

• How to identify “good” storytelling opportunities in your work 
• Storytelling frameworks and practical tools to share complex information in an accessible way 
• Tips for bringing your story to life. PLUS: an opportunity to practice sharing your story in real-time!  

This session is a great fit for anyone who wants to make public procurement stories more engaging, accessible, and memorable. Come ready to collaborate and think out loud and leave with a fresh, practical approach to telling the story of your work’s impact.
