Great presentation. I think the key (in government) is finding a way to make the failure less painful. Even if something is presented as an experiment, the culture of blame tends to pin it to individuals. The pivot gets hard when there is a five year contract to build something that was specified in detail, but leaving out the detail leaves us open to complaints about waste and lack of oversight. I had a comment published in Federal Computer Week last month that covered similar ground from the perspective of introducing new technology.

Federal government should do nothing.. more governemnt means more regulations, less competition and less innovation. Every gov should get out of the way completely because it consists of rent seekers and suckers that work for those who pay more.

Eric, I think you nutted this. The graphic with the pink x's really told the story. Two years from now half or more will be permanently residing in Gonesville. Startups are an experiment - completely!
