This week, Bonnie sits down with Vince Pecoraro, Lead Program Manager for the DAF Digital Transformation Office, to explore the concept of speed in government contracting. Vince shares his insights on the need for faster delivery of product to the warfighter and how both industry and government play a role in lowering barriers. Tune in as we explore the challenges in training and educating the workforce, the cultural shift required for speed, and the need for a “burning platform” in the absence of crisis to drive urgency.
