You’ll have 120 seconds.  No slides or written materials are allowed.  Company logos and paraphernalia are prohibited.  It’s just you, five prominent judges and hundreds of audience members in a tent on the National Mall in Washington, DC.  Your goal?  Come up with an innovative idea or approach to attract, engage, motivate, lead, develop and reward the nearly 2 million members of the nation’s federal workforce.

If this sounds like fun, go to FedPitch and submit your ideas.  FedPitch is an initiative coordinated by 13L in conjunction with The Council for Excellence in Government, Young Government Leaders, The Partnership for Public Service and American University.  

I, for one, intend to promote a concept or two and see if I “make the cut”.  In terms of reality shows, this one touches us every day.  Why not lend some mind share as the federal workforce struggles to reinvigorate and reinvent itself.  Sometimes it’s helpful to stop complaining and start becoming part of the solution.

Let’s keep the conversation going.
