It’s Not Your Father’s Government Contracting Environment

In a few days it will be the 50th anniversary of the January 17, 1961 speech given by President Dwight D. Eisenhower when he warned us of the nations drift toward the vast reaching business environment of the Military–industrial complex. This fascinating and profound message from the leader of the Allied Forces in Europe was specific and very

accurate.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military%E2%80%93industrial_complex  . I grew up in the era that leveraged this paradigm into putting a man on the moon and bringing down the iron curtain. The 1980’s brought us the world of COTS and ongoing reforms in contracting rules. As we enter the second decade of the new millennium we are facing a vastly changed government contracting world. If you are going to be a player in this new world and survive I suggest you understand how to leverage the GovWin ecosystem.
