That was a close one! The federal government is still in business but there is work to be done. Contractors, follow the advice of Nick Wakeman: "Most of you have been spending time the last few weeks preparing for a shutdown. Keep doing that. And if you didn’t, get started: Talk to your contracting officers Understand your funding sources Talk to your banks Look for things you can do with locked out employees such as training Talk to your employees Forty-five days is a significant chunk of time. We have a reprieve but this is far from over." #imagovcon #riskmanagement Renee Stock Connor Love Brian Jurutka Logan Cheadle #washtech
