LinkedIn
May 17, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world, and the consequences of this global event will have long-lasting effects.

Why is the global supply chain so vulnerable? What is supply chain immunity? How can we achieve national supply chain immunity?

IBM Center report focuses on the expanding use of design thinking in government
LinkedIn
October 24, 2018
Every day, U.S. government entities interact with millions of citizens to execute their core missions. Serving the citizenry has always has been a foundation of our government and today, rapidly advancing technological innovations are fundamentally changing citizen expectations. The last best experience that anyone has becomes the minimum expectation for the next experience. With these changing dynamics as a backdrop, organizations must begin to re-imagine how they innovate, operate, and engage with clients, employees, and stakeholders. Design thinking -- described as a human-centered approach to innovation that puts the observation and discovery of often highly-nuanced, even tacit, human needs right at the forefront of the innovation process -- is currently enjoying unprecedented attention from organizations in search of avenues for innovation, both in the public and private sector.
