Kim Koster of Unanet highlights that despite winning proposals, many small and mid‑size GovCons are struggling to staff execution teams—particularly cleared professionals—amid talent shortages and tentative AI tool adoption: [GovCon Wire](https://www.govconwire.com/articles/govcon-talent-search-kim-koster-unanet-ai).

**Discussion Prompts:**

- What innovative staffing models (e.g., partnerships, flexible talent pools) might help bridge recruiting gaps?
