gotta start somewhere.. empowering people is a big "yes" here.. on the other hand, government in the USA is plauged by an outsourcing addiction. Get the budget and signature authority, say whatever you have to say in any number of meetings to get that, and then it is off to margaritaville while pressured, less-authority people are required to make things happen, and they in turn hire outsourcing companies, who then in turn run modern-day "IT shops" which vary wildly, lets say .. What effect does this good-looking GSA program have, over time, on this addiction to outsourcing for USA government work ? on the culture of bosses who run that, and on worst yet, companies that thrive on failure in government contracting.. which apparently is endemic. Sincere good wishes to the people who are in this for the right reasons. I have to call the dark side though, since empowering that dark side with lofty words and new budgets, is worse than picking up litter in the park on volunteer day and going about your own business.
