with their people. He’s gotten some interesting experiences in a different culture. (redacted details
on culture that was namedsame benefits that I got out of ) So I see exactly the (agency name)
experience at the right time, at the point where it was it really made an impression on you such that
you were like, ok, how do I apply that? How do I go back to my organization? I can’t go back to my
organization aidiots – I went to this other organization and I nd say, “ok, you guys, you guys are
learned all this good stuff so we gotta dump all this stuff.” That doesn’t work for obvious reasons, so it
forces you to think about how do I make that change without it appearing to be an enormous change or an
indictment of the organization and its efforts? How do I implement that, create that – maybe that
culture, that environment good. – all very interesting. But(^) Different

me how we can get done what we need to do.’ It was operating then in a different arena because most
of the previous plate of things where I had done things like that had been within the civil service
environmenthave the overlap of ‘I’m going to lose my job’ or , within the government, so you didn’t
‘I’m going to lose my money’, or something like that because those weren’t big factors. Getting it
out, working across into the contractor work, making sure that they understood, being very
forthright with what you could promise them legally, what you couldn’t promise them legally,
what you were going to try to make happen even if
