I've already noticed a difference in government from the changes you have put in place and I can tell those are changes that will endure, so thanks for that.

I picked his book up again and enjoyed re-reading it. I'd recommend all in government do the same. Tech development at the UN sounds like an incredible position where you must have had to struggle against some huge challenges. If Rod helped there then it is quite an endorsement.

I met Rod while managing the tech for development practice at the United Nations and was immediately impressed with his deep knowledge of the most urgent tech issues we face and also his practical, get-it-done attitude based on decades of experience in the private sector. I'm sur eRod knows the clock is ticking, and I don't think hes going to waste any time. I encourage you to get to know Rod Beckstrom and read his work.

There are some really smart, really motivated folks there in DHS, and I bet they will be lining up to get on board with his vision. Cheers, Bob Gourley Mark,

There are going to be some huge challenges. But I'm sure DHS and the rest of the Federal space will be far better off for his service. And when he returns to his previously scheduled life I think he will find he is far better off for having served. Cheers, Bob Mike, I hope Rod is going into this with his eyes wide open.

You can accomplish a lot in 10 months . . . on the outside. Does he have the juice to move at 'Net speed inside the gov't? Time will certainly tell, but I think we have to be honest about the probability that he's going to run into the same slow-roll buzz-saw that has chewed up so many before him.
