Looking both ahead and back at the enduring innovation agenda

A glance at what the pre-coronavirus world looked like for federal agencies quickly brings technology modernization back to the forefront, and that is where we pick up for this second of a two-part interview with ICF CEO John Wasson. The federal government’s priorities are obviously centered around the pandemic today, innovation in terms of both new technology and business practices were top of mind for many agencies before that shift in attention. In this part two, Wasson and Senior Staff Writer Ross Wilkers transition their conversation from the ongoing crisis to the IT modernization agenda that includes the move to what are known as “low code, no code” platforms. Wasson explains the role those technologies play in innovation and how the firm sees its work with highly-regulated commercial clients as a natural bridge to the company’s federal programs.
