Short And Long Term Strategies In Government Contracting (Strategy Lab)

Short And Long Term Strategies In Government Contracting (Strategy Lab)

This interactive lab explores different strategies to win government contracts. These strategies will depend on several factors such as long-term goals, industry, age of business, financial resources, size of your team, current business relationships, and other factors. “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up somewhere else.” ~Yogi Berra. Join us to create your strategy so this doesn’t happen to you.

LAB TOPIC:

• Why do you want to win government Contracts?
• Short Term Strategies – Where to start
• Long Term Strategies – Where do you want to go?
• Prime Contracting – Pros and Cons
• Sub-Contracting – Should you do it?
• State and Local strategies – Should you go after them?
