At BMNT, what drives us is when we see the direct impact our work has on young people and their ability to make a difference. #H4Diplomacy student Isabella Santos recently shared her thoughts on the program's ability to “bridge the divide between government-adjacent work and equitable access.” As a student without established connections, this course provided her with the mentorship needed to navigate her dream career in public service. The program enabled her to interact with U.S. diplomats and personnel, gaining insights into the State Department’s inner workings and opening doors to further opportunities, such as the Charles B. Rangel summer enrichment program and the Freeman-ASIA award. “This hands-on opportunity deepened my understanding and solidified my desire to pursue a career in diplomacy,” Ms. Santos says.

‘Government doesn't have a tech adoption problem. The things that get in the way of innovating in the public sector are a lack of common language, and no repeatable and scalable process in which to think about and work on their problems’ — Ali Hawks, Ph.D. with Peter Newell on Uloaku (Ula) Ojiaku’s Agile Innovation Leaders podcast. Great takeaways in this lively discussion about what it takes to solve critical problems at speed. https://bit.ly/45DVBZX #missionacceleration #innovationpipeline #innovationoperations #innovationdoctrine

BMNT partnered recently with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) CInO to train the Innovation Officers in support of the Administrator's vision for a more agile workforce. The TSA Chief Innovation Officer hosted dozens of Lift Cell Innovation Officers representing over 350 airports to learn how to recognize solutions worth adopting to address TSA challenges and network. Participants ultimately identified hundreds of problems and made progress on dozens through collaboration and purposeful instruction over the course of three days. To quote Deputy Administrator Holly Canevari, "Innovation is baked into TSA DNA." Steven Parker, Esq. Andrew Haskins Vanessa Couch William Treseder Tim Donoghue, PMP Bull Holland, PhD B.
