In recent months, I’ve spoken with many Chief Data and Analytics Officers (CDAOs) and Deputy Chief Data Analytics Officers (DCDAOs) across various government agencies. Many of them expressed the same concern: they’re unhappy with the quality of contractor support they’re receiving.

The problem? Contractors are having trouble attracting and retaining top-tier tech talent. This is leading to several issues, including non-renewal of option years and subpar CPARS scores.

So, what can be done?

Contractors need to take a proactive approach to attracting and retaining AI/Data talent. This includes offering competitive salaries, investing in your incumbent staff and rapidly backfilling open roles to mitigate project downtime.
