LSI boasts an 85 percent win rate for clients, which include some of the world’s best organizations: Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics, L-3 and Northrop Grumman. LSI helps their large business clients secure billions of government contract dollars each year. Additionally, LSI specializes in assisting small- and medium-sized businesses successfully do business with the government. Last year, LSI assisted its clients in winning over $200 billion in new business with an estimated 1.5 million new jobs created in the United States.

LSI’s Michigan location has allowed a strong partnership to develop with the Macomb-OU INCubator. This partnership now includes specialized trainings for Mac-OU INC clients, as well as entrepreneurs and small-business owners across the State of Michigan.

A prime example of this is the LSI trainings specific to the Michigan Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Matching Funds Program (MD.MFP) on “Understanding and Navigating DARPA Research & Development: A Michigan Sponsored Workshop.” The next all-day training is scheduled for Wed, May 28, at the M-TEC SmartZone in Houghton, MI. Visit michigandarpa.org for more information.

In addition, LSI is providing trainings at the Macomb-OU INCubator for the 2014 calendar year, including topics such as doing business with the Department of Defense, winning federal contracts as a small business, teaming with prime contractors, proposal management and writing winning proposals.
