AFMC/PK Podcast Episode 41: Follow-up: Collaborating with Industry - Chelsea Fulham & Abby Doorn In this episode, we follow-up with our guests from episode 36, Chelsea Fulham and Abby Doorn, who are Air Force Contracting professionals that completed Education with Industry (EWI) fellowships. Chelsea's work with Amazon and Abby's work with Anduril really got them thinking about how collaborative industry is with its partners and how Government Acquisition may better take advantage of opportunities to collaborate with industry to meet its goals. As part of their EWI capstone project, Chelsea and Abby worked with Data Analytics students from UC Berkeley to develop a tool that would allow companies doing business with the Government a vehicle to provide feedback on the acquisition process. Chelsea and Abby share the data they received from industry partners and identify which indicators show the biggest opportunities for improving the acquisition timeline. They also give advice to future EWI fellows as they collaborate with industry to learn and improve the way we do business.
