How Government Built This: How Empowerment Leads to Innovation

We're back with a new season of How Government Built This! This year, our theme is "Strengthening and Empowering our People and Culture", and we'll be looking at how applying the principles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) can promote innovation within an organization.

This week, we're hearing from the members of the workforce at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service on the idea of "empowerment". Our guests this week came together from different departments of the Fiscal Service to participate in an innovation competition, the Fiscal Challenge.

You'll hear from both team members and leadership about how the Challenge and broader concepts of employee empowerment have affected their work and culture.

Guests:
Tom Vannoy - Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Wholesale Security Services, Bureau of the Fiscal Service

Team 1:
Kuhu Parasrampuria - Attorney Advisor, Office of the Chief Counsel
Grace Lim - Management and Program Analyst, Office of the Chief Data Officer

Team 2:
Dave Martie - Fiscal Analyst, Office of Fiscal Projections
Melissa Campisi - Executive Assistant, Wholesale Securities Services
Donald Ricks - IT Project Manager, Program Management Branch
