It’s a tough effort given that many seem terrified of “doing more with less,” as DoD budgets inevitably tighten, but Michael Chase, Executive Director, Human Capital, Defense Contract Management Agency, is trying to debunk the stigma that comes with the notorious phrase.

According to Chase, rapidly advancing technology and communications platforms available today allow us to do things more effectively and efficiently than in the past, and this is a good thing.

He and his team created an “as-is” vs. “to-be” business strategy comparing the current organization to what it would look like if created from the ground up today. Through this process, the team figured out how to perform more effectively with 114 employees currently, vs. 140 employees last year. In the same time period, the agency’s customer service ratings went up by more than 35 percent. “We didn’t do it because we were worried about more fiscally constrained times,” said Chase. “We did it because it was the right thing to do.”

In this exclusive podcast, you’ll hear Chase outline how he worked through this strategy and how, through a screening strategy to determine when to use contractors vs. government positions, he was able to achieve $18 million in savings.
