If you work in the Government acquisition world, this podcast is for you. (not just for Contracting Officers!)

Kevin and Paul discuss the power of succinct writing set up by a quote from Mark Twain, “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter”.  Government Requests for Proposals and the proposals submitted in response are well known for “dense” content.  Learn tips on how to purge your writing of unnecessary content that obscures the intended message and how this can help both Government and Industry save time and money.

…yes…we know…Twain wasn’t the first.  The earliest recorded use of the concept “If I Had More Time, I Would Have Written a Shorter Letter” comes from French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal’s work “Lettres Provinciales” in 1657.  It has been attributed to many others since.
