From navigating federal IT challenges to leading procurement strategy, Bill Pratt's experience at U.S. Department of Homeland Security offers lessons for anyone in the industry. On episode 44, we sat down with our good friend Bill to dig into the goods: ?? 22 Years at DHS: Bill reflects on his journey through IT modernization, governance, and compliance from the aftermath of 9/11 to his role in shaping the agency's future. ?? Public Sector Procurement: Insights on navigating procurement challenges and the evolution of acquisition strategies within the federal government. ?? AI and Automation's Impact: Discussion on how emerging technologies like AI and RPA are transforming business development and government operations. ?? Drag Racing Passion: Beyond tech, Bill shares his dedication to running the world's largest drag racing website, blending his passion for motorsports with his tech-savvy skills. ?? One key takeaway? ?? If you're in the digital transformation business - or advisory in general - it is your responsibility to help your customer see around the corner. By doing so, they can ask ahead, prepare accordingly, and prepare to employ agile strategies. Otherwise, they're going to have to wait until next cycle. Thanks for Bill and RELI Group, Inc. for getting together on this one.
