266: Grow Your GovCon in Both Directions with Kendall Lott

Kendall Lott, CEO and President of M Powered Strategies, is driven by a mission to empower public service organizations to grow their GovCon in both directions, aligning client needs with skilled talent.

 

We discuss the Tie Fighter (Bowtie) Framework, a strategic model Kendall developed to enhance growth by connecting business development, capture, and proposals (right wing) with networking, recruiting, and hiring (left wing), all bridged by training and development at the center. Kendall explains how this framework helps service-based businesses scale, maintain profitability, and empower organizations for long-term independence. He also shares insights on leveraging intellectual property and automation to optimize consulting operations and achieve greater efficiency.
