The Gwinnett Chamber Foundation recently hosted its Brown Bag Power Hour: Leveraging Technology for Efficiency and Scale. This session focused on equipping minority-owned, veteran-owned, and woman-owned small businesses with actionable strategies to integrate technology for operational efficiency, scalable growth, and enhanced service delivery in supply chain and logistics contracting.
Speaker Michael Council, a cybersecurity and IT governance expert shared insights on leveraging frameworks such as NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, and CMMC to streamline processes and strengthen compliance. John Lawson, an A.I. Automation Consultant, also provided attendees with A.I. automation resource tools and ways to integrate A.I. into their procurement business development and operations processes. Attendees gained practical guidance on applying these tools to secure contracts as sub-contractors or service providers in competitive industries.
The session emphasized the role of certifications and advanced technology in empowering small businesses to expand their reach and meet complex demands in the digital age.
