Innovation isn’t just about ideas—it's about partnerships that bridge public missions and private-sector agility.

Join us this week on What Problem Are You Solving? (What PAYS) for a special conversation with Mark Munsell, former Chief Data Officer at the Department of Defense. We'll explore how the public sector and private companies can successfully partner to drive innovation, navigate complex ecosystems, and deliver solutions at scale.

🔥 In this episode: ✅ How effective public-private partnerships actually form ✅ Key lessons from leading innovation and data initiatives at the DOD ✅ Overcoming common obstacles—bureaucracy, risk-aversion, and cultural differences ✅ Why data is the connective tissue that makes these partnerships succeed
