7. Workforce Attraction
“My next challenge is,  with the recent BRAC changes and the growth in the Intelligence Community,  we find ourselves challenged to get enough qualified, cleared, technical talent.  I think a lot of companies have this challenge, including our government customers. In this geographical area, we have to be innovative in how we can continue to attract qualified technical talent.” 
- Joseph Greaney, Northrop Grumman Information Systems
