We recently celebrated 10 years of the Presidential Innovation Fellows (PIF) program, which has welcomed about 200 private-sector experts to serve in about 50 agencies. Through it, federal agencies get access to new ideas and extraordinary tech talent. They can put both to work solving hard problems and delivering better government services to the American people…
Over the years, PIFs have focused on a wide range of projects related to areas such as:
- cybersecurity,
- data modernization and strategy,
- digital strategy,
- harnessing artificial intelligence (AI),
- human-centered design for mapping and improving customer experiences, and
- software engineering…
Today, the work of PIFs has become closely aligned with efforts like the Executive Order on Transforming Federal Customer Experience and Service Delivery to Rebuild Trust in Government as well as the President’s Management Agenda. These efforts reflect the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to prioritizing every agency’s customers and delivering a seamless customer experience with every digital interaction.
Overall, the PIF program has delivered outstanding, sustainable results while saving money for taxpayers and improving the public’s experience along the way. We’re looking forward to building on that track record with even more technologists following in their footsteps…
If you’re reading this and you’re a senior technologist, keep an eye out for applications opening again in spring of 2023…
If you’re an agency seeking talented technologists and innovators, reach out to the PIF team…
