In this second discussion on the future of the Planning-Programming-Budgeting-Execution (PPBE) process, Center for Government Contracting executive director Jerry McGinn hosts a distinguished panel including:

- Jamie Morin -- VP at the Aerospace Corp and former Director of CAPE

- Dov Zakheim -- Senior Fellow at CNA and former USD Comptroller

- John Young -- Principal at JY Strategies LLC and former USD AT&L

Watch the video here, and listen to it on the Acquisition Talk podcast here. It is difficult to boil the conversation down because each of the three panelists had unique views. However, one theme that all seemed to agree on was the importance of flexibility to make program tradeoffs, and that such a construct requires trust between DoD and Congressional personnel.
