047 The Power of Do

from Contracting Officer Podcast 2.0 (samples) · host Kevin Jans

There are endless calls to “fix Government acquisition” and “reduce bureaucracy” and “change or reduce Federal Procurement Policies”.Ready to scale that mountain? We aren’t either. In this episode Kevin and Paul discuss the impact that small improvements can have on large bureaucracies. Learn how choosing “now” over “perfect” and giving grace to those who “learn by doing” can improve your acquisition or proposal efforts. Simple examples are provided to illustrate how small changes, when repeated across an organization, can snowball into massive improvements in efficiency and productivity.
