The Art of the Possible: Debunking Ontario BPS Procurement Directive Myths

Myths associated with the Ontario Broader Public Sector (BPS) Procurement Directive are well-known barriers to innovation adoption in Ontario. In a 2016 survey across Ontario’s 23 academic research hospitals, 76 per cent of respondents identified policies, directives and procurement rules as major hurdles to innovation adoption within their organizations.

This one-hour webinar is designed to help you address barriers to innovation adoption by debunking some of the most common myths associated with Ontario’s Broader Public Sector (BPS) Procurement Directive. Listen and ask questions as we walk through The Art of the Possible: A Quick Reference Guide to Ontario Broader Public Sector Procurement Myths, created by the Council of Academic Hospitals of Ontario (CAHO) as part of its work as an Innovation Broker. This webinar is for anyone involved with procurement in Ontario.
