Innovation Opportunities Amidst Chaos and Uncertainty

Congressional standoffs and inability to pass a FY24 federal budget, a third Continuing Resolution (CR), significant pressure to reduce federal spending, a tumultuous 2024 presidential election, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, the border crisis, threat of new pandemics/COVID variant outbreaks, natural disasters, climate change, and more have created a chaotic world for U.S. public sector leaders. Yet, despite all the uncertainty of budget, staffing, and events beyond their control, there may be significant opportunities for savvy public service innovators and private sector solution providers to initiate new actions to positively contribute to agency missions.
