Reorgs, Power Plays, and Survival Plans
The GovCon landscape continues to shift under our feet. Right now, the government contracting landscape is anything but stable. Agencies are reorganizing at a pace we haven’t seen in years—driven more by political interests than by strategy. Budgets are shifting. Priorities are realigning. Whole programs are getting paused, rebranded, or canceled altogether.Here's the reality: It's not enough to have a few good tactics. In times like these, businesses that survive—and grow—are the ones that have a strategy tight enough to guide them, but flexible enough to evolve. Without that foundation, you’re not just reacting to market shifts—you’re at the mercy of them. Today, we’re unpacking what happens when strategy takes a back seat, and why small businesses, especially now, need to blend big-picture thinking with tactical precision to stay competitive in a market where tomorrow's rules are changing today.Guest Bio:Jazmen Jackson is a strategy consultant who helps small businesses grow with clarity and confidence.
