Government Innovation's Bad Reputation




GovLoop Insights show

Summary: There has been a lot of discussion in recent years about how the government can be innovative. Next week, at the Industry Advisory Council’s Executive Leadership Conference, a big focus will be on innovation. And, in fact, we are going to try something a big different maybe even innovative. As part of that discussion, there will be an UN-session. You have have heard of an un-conference. These are where you don’t have a panel or even an agenda. You have... well, the people in the room. You tap the wisdom of crowds. At ELC, we are doing an UN-session. When I say we, the UN-session is going to be guided by myself and Kathy Conrad. Kathy is the principal deputy associate administrator of GSA’s Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies and our guest on this week's podcast.
