If you work in the Government acquisition world, this podcast is for you. (not just for Contracting Officers!)

Three contracting officers walk into a bar...

Have you heard that one?  What do you think of when someone says "let's talk to the contracting officer" or "it's in the purchasing manager's hands"?  Happy thoughts? Confidence?  Dread?

Kevin and Paul discuss the stereotypes associated with the contracting, subcontracting, and purchasing/supply chain profession.  Learn how to recognize the signs that you're becoming a stereotype or dealing with a stereotype and how to overcome (and even conquer) the perception.

Kevin Jans and Paul Schauer created the Contracting Officer Podcast to help Government and Industry acquisition professionals understand more about how the other side thinks.  Admittedly, the podcast’s name sounds very limiting.  It is not just for contracting officers or even just for those in the contracting profession.  Anyone with an interest in the Federal acquisition world can benefit from the insight and down-to-earth explanations of complicated topics provided by the hosts.
