To innovate in the public sector requires more than permission to think outside the box. It requires hiring and developing individuals with diverse backgrounds, belief systems, experiences, education, and needs.

Innovation as Part of the Government L&D Equation

The terms innovation and government are oftentimes considered at odds with one another. Given the expansive policy and bureaucracy that both create structure yet also appears, at least on the surface, to stifle new ideas and development, rarely do we think of innovation as part of the greater government enterprise goal set. Yet historically, nearly 60 percent of US innovation stems from government ideas, actions, and research. Expanding these goals is not only expected into the future, but national security, development, and safety demand it. Accordingly, several innovation cells across both the Department of Defense as well as the other departments have been developed and continue to grow.
This webinar will focus on sharing the latest trends, actions, and goals of these innovative networks and leaders. Listeners will gain a deep understanding of how their work can be enhanced as well as how they can contribute to this thought leadership enterprise.

Driving Innovation in Government

To identify and develop innovative talent across the US Department of Defense (DoD) requires much more than permission to think outside the box. It requires a composite of exceptional minds encouraged to expand and multiply their ideas through discussion, analysis, and extensive questioning of each other. To accomplish this task, hiring and assignment practices are key. They must be designed to identify and attract key skills, knowledge, and other attributes that can substantively enhance the mix of teams created for innovation. Join us in discussing how we can better empower the military to identify talent and better promote and manage that talent to defend our nation.
