## Resource

Lindy Kyzer and defense innovation leader Noam Oz—former Director for Innovation Operations at NavalX—join the show today for a candid discussion on how to cut through bureaucracy and deliver solutions at the speed of relevance. From outdated procedures to entrenched cultural norms, federal acquisition has long faced challenges in moving innovation from idea to implementation. They’ll explore how rapid prototyping, operator engagement, and smart risk management can transform acquisition outcomes, and why cultivating enduring industry-government partnerships is key to sustaining innovation.
