A need to upgrade Uncle Sam’s innovation skills
Uncle Sam talks a good game when it comes to encouraging his staff to find better ways of serving the public, but the reality is a different story.
That’s the message of a new report that indicates a strong disconnect between the desire of federal employees to innovate and the degree to which innovation is encouraged in their workplaces.
