The Procurement Goldmine

The Diaspora Goldmine

In the goldmine, you're a nickel

This joint's the biggest goldmine in Deadwood. You can afford it.

But there is a figurative goldmine safer and potentially at least as lucrative as the real thing that most countries possess, but few choose to exploit fully government procurement.

Now this is the neurological goldmine, if you like, because a known reward excites people, but what really gets them going is the uncertain reward, the reward pitched at the right level of uncertainty, that they didn't quite know whether they were going to get it or not.

These are just a few examples of the value that can be extracted from the government procurement goldmine. By committing to purchase large amounts of high quality products that address major national challenges, governments can encourage private, public, or mixed organizations to incur the fixed costs of finding solutions.
