When push came to shove, King Richard III was willing to give up his entire kingdom in exchange for a horse, just to win one battle. That begs the question, what would you be willing to give up to win a governmentwide acquisition contract (GWAC) suited to your organization’s capabilities and interests? What if you didn’t have to give up anything to make that goal a reality? GWAC NorthStar™ applies business developers’ logic and criteria to determine how well a contract opportunity would fit your organization, then automatically ingests, reads, and discovers the decision criteria that you personally configured, and scores the opportunity accordingly. As a result, you get to focus your valuable time and resources solely on the opportunities that actually deserve your attention! Check out this blog post by our very own Chief Technology Officer, Brian Seagrave to learn more about what GWAC NorthStar can do for your team. Hang on to your kingdom, the horse is on us! https://lnkd.in/evXaAUAQ #GWAC #GovCon #ContractVehicles #WinMore #DWPA

Looking forward to presenting on the impact of coupling generative AI enumerations with active learning RBFE!

A certification from the NACD (National Association of Corporate Directors) is not an easy task. I have studied governance (failed one test!) of companies based on USA regulations and best practices and appreciated how they apply globally, and size doesn't really matter on the below topics: - ESG - Environment Social and Governance - Regulatory shifts and strategic implications - Risk Management - Cybersecurity - Talent Recruitment are all challenges on the agenda of the boards of any company, being public in USA, or medium and small size in Europe. RxPack being a pharma packaging company serving global, and local international companies is managing all of the above, by its teams, and with customers, supplyers and partners. #governance #ESG #globalchallenges

I am looking forward to this session. I know how problematic it can be when two different cultures come together. This happened to me as I left the military to enter into higher ed. I can't wait to learn more from Jeff. #ATD #ATDALC

Some say we don't learn from history. While I believe that's partially true, I also believe that our industry endeavors to do just that, learn from our past. Case studies are one of my favorite parts of technical conferences. Two full sessions of them at the #tmwc23. #tailingsmanagement #tailingsdamconstruction #civilengineering #environmentalengineering #minedesign

LinkedIn wants me to "Repost this with my thoughts", so, sure, and let's do it. My thought is that our global field and movement of Deflection has now indeed arrived. To our older sibling (Diversion), for the last 60 years you have had the stage, but for the next 60 and beyond, Deflection is going to be doing the work earlier, upstream, and in community. Nothing personal Diversion. It's just time to get ahead of it all when that's the better place and space to act. #PTACCSummit2023 #DeflectionLeadsTheWay

Jesse Armstrong is a finalist for the Apex Awards CEO of the Year! I want to share a story that even our longtime partners and clients probably don't know... Jesse hired me when i was 16. While all of my friends were working fast food and retail, I started working in IT services. It was never my goal to start a career. I just wanted something better than my friends. I assumed Jesse though I was a prodigy. Turns out you don't have to be a prodigy when you make $6/hr (way more than my friends). Jesse and I quickly connected on one thing: The customer. IT services were not built through the eyes, or value prop, of the end customer. They were built selfishly by the people in the late '90s who hoarded the knowledge. Jesse and I saw it differently. We worked differently. A few years later, we made the leap and got into business together and connected over another thing: Our employees. With a constant focus of scaling a people-focused organization, Jesse and I traded chairs a few times over the last 20 years. Never worried about individual credit. Always focused on building something incredible. We've continued our growth together as Greystone became a valuable part of the New Charter Technologies platform. As I've moved into a new role at New Charter, Jesse and I are doing a lot less "together". It's both humbling and exciting to see how he's steered Greystone to the best version it's ever been. He deserves the credit he hasn't gotten enough of. I tell people that I don't know that I could ever do another 50/50 partnership. Not because this is one of those partnership horror stories. Because what are the chances that lightning strikes twice? I don't get a vote in this competition, but it doesn't matter. He's already won. Greystone v2024 is the best IT provider and the best IT employer I've ever seen. Never perfect, but never stopping. I can say that more objectively now (although I'll always be biased). Cheers to another 25 years.

On this episode of #ASunnierWarmerDay, Edward Dow Bartling, CLU, MBA, FLMI, ACS, AIAA, Chief Operating Officer of #FinancialMarketsInc reiterates the importance of continued education and shares some insightful tips on LDGP. 

It is exciting to see your involvement in GLMC 2023, Brigette Hyacinth! The focus on co-creation and addressing labor market challenges is crucial for shaping a future-proofed organization. I look forward to the positive impact and collaboration that will emerge from this conference. #GLMC2023 #FutureOfWork"

It was a great time trimming out the datacom rack live at the Vertical Cable booth during ISC West! Times like last week at ISC are outstanding reminders of how much more powerful and productive we are as an industry when we work together instead of against each other. Did I have to spend my time at ISC building out a rack and showing other integrators how they can do better? No - I could have walked the show floor as usual and seen a lot of cool stuff. Did I want to share knowledge and skills with other integrators? Heck yeah! Gate keeping “trade secrets” is ultimately nonproductive. Sharing knowledge and skills benefits everybody and moves the industry forward so that we all win! In true #communityovercompetition fashion, having the opportunity to meet so many fellow systems integrators and industry peers and share some tips and tricks on how they can take their installs to the next level is always a great experience. From quickly terminating keystone jacks, to labeling, to methods of perfectly dressing out patch panels, there was a LOT of productive conversation last week. For me, seeing people leave the booth with new knowledge that will change their game in a positive way is a win for the industry! Huge shoutout to VC for being such an integral partner in our day-to-day as a systems integrator and the industry as a whole. Datacom projects without VC simply wouldn’t be the same! #ISCWest #VerticalCable #TKcommunity #IT #datacom #telecom #structuredcabling #fiber #fiberoptics #CAT6 #MSP #partnership #collaboration
