Under Todd Park the role was more of an "entrepreneur in residence" that helped shepherd some of the practices from the private sector into government. Some lean practices, small prototype testing before major program deployment, and changes in policy that provided more flexibility. That had the side effect of also impacting the ability of small businesses to engage with government. I hope they keep the role moving forward in a similar way.
