Our Mission
| We believe better government contracts start with better human connections—grounded in real experience. When Jim Neighbors retired from a 34-year career in the Department of Defense, he wasn’t done serving. He had a new mission: to build a consultancy unlike anything else in the federal market. Not a patchwork of specialists. Not a faceless firm. But a people-powered network made up entirely of former federal and military leaders who had lived the procurement process from the inside. From that idea, Focusing Forward was born—and today it’s grown into a thriving collective of more than 150 consultants with deep agency expertise, ready to help clients win their first contract, grow their federal footprint, or turn around a troubled program. We meet clients where they are, and plug in fast with tailored, integrated support—because our team knows what’s at stake. We don’t just understand the system. We’ve served inside it. |
