In Part 2, Tim Cooke and I discuss organizational enablers and constraints acquisition professionals face today; acquisition innovation; and who's thinking about the acquisition of the future when technology convergence creates products and services we can't imagine procuring, today. Here are some of my favorite ahh-ha! moments:

3:26 - The biggest constraint is negative slack. Government acquisition professionals don't have a spare minute in their day.

8:22 - A great example of a program innovation leading to an innovative acquisition.

12:19 and on - Two types of innovations ASI Government supports - process and policy, with examples from the Biden Administration's Management Agenda.

14:54 - ASI Government's "periodic table" of acquisition innovations as a practical tool for contracting officers.

18:55 - Tomorrow's DARPA and the future of acquisition innovation.
