FedVet Construction’s Post

There are FREE resources all over that support military spouses, veterans, and those in the military transition process. Today, I would like to highlight the Military Connected Workforce Development Program. See the flyer below for additional details, websites, and a QR code. If you believe this program would be beneficial to your network, please feel free to share this post. If you know someone who would benefit from this information or program, please feel free to tag them in the comments. Did you leverage any programs besides TAP or Skillbridge/CSP during your military transition process? Give them a shout-out!

Fun Fact: The concept of WBS dates back to the 1950s, pioneered by the U.S. Department of Defense for complex military projects. It's like the OG roadmap for project success!  WBS works like magic, breaking down even the most daunting projects into manageable chunks. Each task gets its spotlight, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. #ProjectManagement #WBS #FunFacts #Success

Friday reminder... Should've, could've, would've doesn't move the needle. Action does. Begin now. Are you thinking about separating or retiring from the military? Are you interested in earning a #projectmanagement certification? What about participating in the #dodskillbridge program? Begin here: vets2pm.com/training

“Every service, every combatant command, and every regional command is reevaluating themselves — their equipment, warfighting concepts, organizational structure, etc. — and how they intend to accomplish wartime objectives," Army Lt. Gen. Mark Simerly said in his first meeting of DLA Industry Association leaders at DLA headquarters.” “Industry partners are indispensable as DLA assesses its posture and ability to support warfighters with precision, he added. As it adjusts resource models to increase flexibility, DLA must improve its ability to forecast military requirements that it shares with suppliers annually.” Let’s read that again shall we? “….INDESPENSIBLE…..THAT IT SHARES WITH SUPPLIERS ANNUALLY….” (Thank you sir for “getting it!”) If it’s Not “shared”, then why is the below a surprise to any one? We don’t need a consultant to figure it out, we need communication on the forecast and WE WILL figure it out. Complete Shocker>>>>”The agency's industrial base shrank from 12,000 suppliers in 2016 to just 8,500 in 2023, but Beebe said the rate of decline is slowing. In 2023, DLA hired a consultant to study the trend and its likely causes.” #really

IT IS CRITICAL AND URGENT! DO YOU KNOW if you need to be #CMMC compliant? Please answer below. As I have been presenting across the country I am finding out that many companies that require CMMC do not realize that they need to become CMMC compliant or even have heard about what CMMC compliance is. So I thought that I would share a list of items that can help you know if you need to become CMMC compliant. 1. You are currently doing contract work directly with any #DoD branch (Army, Navy, Airforce, etc). 2. You are currently doing contract work with a company that has a contract with the DOD. 3. You support a company that does contract or subcontract work for the DOD 4. You have been asked by your supplier how far you are on #NIST800171 compliant 5. You have Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) 6. You would like to work with the federal government on #defence contracts in the future 7. You have been asked by your Prime contractor if you have a #SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System) score. If any of these items are true then you will need to become CMMC #compliant please contact us for help - We are ready to be your ally in CMMC https://lnkd.in/dySx2GD

An effective way to plan your time and meet deadlines? Look no further than backwards planning! I learned technique while in the military, and is utilized by many military professionals. It involves starting with the time a project needs to be completed and planning your timeline in reverse order. It's a strategy that I use in almost everything I do, to the point where it has become routine. By starting with the end goal in mind and working backwards, you can ensure that you are using your time efficiently and effectively. Give it a try and see how it can benefit your work! #backwardsplanning #timemanagement #efficiency
