Without a doubt, the entire world has seen the shakeup in the U.S. federal government led by the President and DOGE.
In a nutshell, the fundamental culture of the federal government has been impacted by a shift from a traditional bureaucracy to an entrepreneurial, cost-cutting mindset.
Each type of organization has one keyword that's a driving force in its organization. For the federal government, that word is "risk." What's the risk of doing this or what's the risk of doing that?
For entrepreneurial organizations, the key driving force is "opportunity." How can I turn this challenge or setback into an opportunity?
Opportunity prioritizes speed of change over security, whereas risk prioritizes security over speed. Each has its appropriate place and time.
