Strategic Thinking for a Complex World
At Great Olympus, we guide companies seeking to work with the Department of War by bringing clarity, precision, and purpose to the complexities of defense contracting. Our expertise is centered on educating sales teams in the unique procurement processes of the DoW—equipping them with the knowledge and strategies needed to navigate opportunities with confidence.
While our work remains discreet, its impact is enduring.
The Department of War
The Department of War (DoW) is the backbone of America’s national security, tasked with protecting the country, deterring threats, and ensuring peace through strength. As the largest and most complex organization in the U.S. government—and the world’s largest employer—the DoW encompasses a vast network of people, technology, and resources dedicated to safeguarding the nation.
From managing military operations across the globe to pioneering technological innovations like GPS and the internet, the DoW's influence extends far beyond the battlefield. With headquarters at the iconic Pentagon, this powerhouse oversees six branches of the military, thousands of installations worldwide, and an annual budget that rivals the economies of entire countries.
But the DoW is more than just a warfighting machine—it’s a key player in humanitarian aid, disaster response, and cutting-edge research. Whether through its legendary military traditions, groundbreaking innovations, or pop culture appearances, the DoW has left a lasting mark on American history and daily life.
What We Do
At Great Olympus, we specialize in training sales teams to navigate the Department of War procurement process with clarity and confidence. Drawing on my experience as the current Vice President of Business Development for a federal contractor, I bring over half a decade of firsthand knowledge in working with the federal government.
Our programs are highly targeted, customized to the specific branch a company aims to engage with—whether it’s the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines. Training is delivered via Zoom multiple times per week, allowing teams to learn interactively and stay engaged throughout the process. In addition, teams receive comprehensive reference documents they can keep on file, ensuring they have practical guides to support ongoing success.
By sharing real-world strategies and actionable insights, we equip sales teams to identify opportunities, engage effectively, and drive results within the Department of War ecosystem. Our approach ensures teams are prepared, knowledgeable, and ready to operate with precision in complex federal landscapes.
Industries
We work with companies across a range of sectors to navigate the unique demands of the U.S. Department of War. Operating within this environment requires more than compliance—it demands a deep understanding of acquisition dynamics, mission priorities, and competitive positioning.
Our role is to help clients reduce exposure to risk, allocate resources with precision, and teach the capabilities required to compete—and win—in one of the most complex procurement ecosystems in the world.
