Why Watch
Dukeshire’s organization is dedicated to leveraging contracting management systems and tools to streamline workflows. They are looking into tech solutions to better track and predict contract performance, including spotting trends, opportunities and risk solutions. Dukeshire thinks these actions will boost collaboration and benefit the business.
“The federal contracts/subcontracts profession has changed over the course of my career to be less transaction-focused and more business development, customer and partner-relationship focused,” she said. “It is especially rewarding to work for a company like ManTech that values effective contract management, especially the critical role our contracts/subcontracts workforce plays in strengthening the open lines of communication with our government customers.”
