Effective change management is at the heart of successful #GenAI adoption. At KPMG US, we’ve found that majority of US consumers believe GenAI will continue to shape their careers, but are their organizations ready to navigate this wave of exponential innovation and transformation?

This event is always a highlight for those of us in government contracting M&A. A peek into my notebook:   - We continue to see the ecosystem function under CRs - Book-to-bill ratios were healthy in Q1 - we aren't seeing some of the slow down we often do in Dec & March - We did see some slow down for products/services related to the supplemental but that should start to open up now that we've got a Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan bill - Explosion of OTAs and SBIRs - New entrants (or not so new but growing challengers) are succeeding at dethroning some of the large defense primes - Public markets continue to have an appetite for government services businesses - a continuation of what we've seen over the last few years   - M&A market this year was quite active but, as expected, dominated by add-on acquisitions - Rollover isn't just a bridge but a significant opportunity if founders work to maximize returns - Increased interest in "briefcase (portable)" debt financing - makes targets more attractive but you must be prepared to hit lender metrics now and when a change of control occurs   - Continue to prove your ability to convert from sub to prime and your transition plan for set aside work - Valuing/assessing set aside work is an art - very circumstantial. It requires deep knowledge of the customer/program/capability and is an easy way to get burned in a deal - Pivoting from set aside to F&O takes significant time and resources - plan for it   - Yes, an election is coming up and we expect the typical M&A sprint into November. However, we've experienced both administrations before. That removes some of the uncertainty we typically navigate with new presidential candidates. - Enduring parts of the budget continue to be bipartisan - investors continue to invest in national security, defense technology and innovation with confidence.   Excellent job, as always, to our co-hosts: Raymond James (Andy McEnroe & Sam Maness), Pinnacle Financial Partners (Carolyne Pelton) & Holland & Knight LLP. Also sending a round of applause to RSM US LLP's Mandy Wheat for facilitating a stellar panel.

The future backbone to the sector. #Intermediaries already guide, mentor, and fiscally sponsor. They offer capacity building guidance. And while #nonprofit #burnout is rampant, funders and their funding is what can drive progress. BDO’s Rodney Christopher, Borealis Philanthropy and Amoretta Morris provide a framework for sustainable and scalable success as #funders continue to support intermediaries. I believe that intermediaries will also play a pivotal role in #data collection, amalgamation, and protection for the sector. Especially with regard to the data needs of #ai. Watch this spot. Tashie Sloley and Melissa Vassell thoughts? A PEAK Grantmaking cohort of grants managers is guiding this discussion. They are meeting tomorrow. Watch for outtakes :)
