Lessons learned about presidential transitions




Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: Last week, President Trump nominated 42 people to fill key Senate-confirmed roles throughout various agencies. Still though, this has been one of the longest presidential transitions in recent history. Case in point: about half of the Chief Information Officer posts throughout government are still empty. Based in part on the experience of this transition, the Partnership for Public Service has just published a how-to guide for political transitions. Mallory Barg Bulman, the Partnerships vice president for research and evaluation, told Federal Drive's Jared Serbu about some of the lessons learned.
