WORKFORCE
ACCESS TO INNOVATION
...the challenge comes from culture. We are trying to promote innovation but we send a message of regulation and oversight.
The message from the top is clearly promoting communications, but the workforce is still hesitant. The culture is still ‘we are the government, you are not.’
Having early interaction with industry during the solicitation process even as we are drafting our solicitation [is a best practice]. I think the more we can communicate that requirement and have an understanding with industry, the more that industry can internalize it and propose something back.
One person picks up a phone and complains so now I have to spend three months gathering information on something that is not actually a problem. We are beating back a horde of bad ideas. The pendulum has swung too far.
CONCLUSION
