âWe're starting to see that lightbulb moment in folks' minds to say, âIt's okay to be a little bit vulnerable. It's okay to talk about some painful things.â It's hard to do that within the government world because of the old ways of thinking and working, but we're starting to break those barriers down.â
In this episode, Adam talks to Scott Sinclair, Agile Coach within the U.S. Army PEO and Shawn Lowe, SPCT at Accenture about driving successful transformations in a government context. The trio dives into topics including the need for strong leadership to overcome cultural resistance to change, clearly communicating to explain the why behind the transformation, and the importance of defining and measuring the impact of the changes, rather than just monitoring metrics.
