A team that games together, stays together ! 🎮😂 Every once in a while, a few of us like to hang around for a few minutes after work — and whether it’s a round of ping pong or a round of N64 Super Smash Bros, we love to see the willingness to cultivate fun and meaningful friendships amongst our internal team, even outside of work hours. In fact, having friends or close relationships at work significantly boosts productivity, with studies showing that strong camaraderie can increase efficiency by up to 67%. Employees with positive workplace connections report higher engagement (83%) and job satisfaction (81%), while companies with strong team relationships see 12% higher profit. (Stats from KPMG) Those are some pretty significant numbers!
Do you and your coworkers have any during or after work traditions that help keep the camaraderie at a high? We’d love to hear about them for some inspiration!
We attended GovCon Outlook in Reston, VA last week, hosted by Potomac Tech Wire, and we learned/reviewed a lot of hot topics in the industry! 🏭🏭
Here are a few of the themes shaping the year ahead in GovCon:
• The SHIELD contract and similar large vehicles are redefining how agencies think about speed, security, and scalable delivery. 💹
• Many leaders are planning strategically toward the 2028 election cycle, recognizing today’s uncertainty while using this window to strengthen internal foundations. 💪🏻
• Smart growth beats fast growth — successful companies are bidding selectively on opportunities they are truly positioned to win. 🧠
• AI is no longer optional. Organizations that thoughtfully invest in AI strategy, tooling, and workforce readiness will lead the next phase of mission delivery. ⚙️
• Talent remains the ultimate differentiator, especially cleared professionals who can adapt quickly to evolving mission needs. 👩🏻💻
• Agencies continue prioritizing cybersecurity, zero trust, and resilient infrastructure across every contract vehicle. 🪪
• Partnerships and teaming are becoming more intentional, with companies aligning around complementary capabilities instead of convenience. 🙌🏻
• Operational maturity — strong processes, financial discipline, and delivery excellence — is becoming just as important as capture strategy. 💵
• Mid-tier companies are finding opportunity by staying agile, specialized, and deeply mission-focused. 👌🏻
• The organizations that win this cycle will be the ones investing now in people, technology, and long-term vision. 👥
Grateful for the insights, conversations, and community shaping what’s next in GovCon! Which items on the list, above, stick out to you, most, or do you think will have the most impact? Any others, not on the list above, you’d like to chime in on? Drop us a comment and let’s get brainstorming!
🎉 What. A. Good. Good. Night. 🎉 Do we have to say much more?
Our Annual Employee Appreciation Celebration is always a highlight of the year. But what matters most about the whole thing? The real relationships, networking and community we establish with each meeting, each event, each opportunity. If we could appreciate each of our employees, this much, every day, we would. Thank you all for the substance, background, and empierce you bring to all that you do for our team.
This year was by far the most fun we've had yet, getting to know our team members and let them understand they are appreciated more than they know! Team Cornerstone ... if you enjoyed our annual party this past weekend, let us know what your vision is for 2026 and beyond! The sky is the the limit -- and that would never be possible without each and every one of your incredibly admirable work on our team.
Here's to 2026 being our best year yet. We couldn't do it without you!
