Reinventing acquisition. McCabe dramatically repositioned ASI Government for a changing market during her four years as CEO, which culminated in February with a carefully planned handoff to Timothy Cooke. More important to the community, however, was the Acquisition of the Future movement that she orchestrated. By bringing together thought leaders from government, industry and academia to fundamentally rethink federal acquisition and carefully crafting the collaboration process, McCabe displayed a deft grasp of the dynamics of change. Those efforts have set the stage for an acquisition system that better reflects the critical role of IT.
