There is word today that some staff at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are coming back to work this week. In this case, we're talking specifically about the employees who process invoices and payments for government contractors. But even if that happens as planned, they'll be facing a big backlog of work, and that's likely to mean payment delays for vendors. A lot to talk about this week with Stephanie Kostro.

The Pentagon’s tech pipeline is littered with promising innovations that never make it to the field. MITRE’s new Transition Maturity Framework aims to change that by replacing the slow, siloed acquisition process with a collaborative, data-driven approach. For insight on how this framework could help warfighters—and why it might be a fix for the “ditches of death”—we turn to MITRE’s senior vice president for national security, Keoki Jackson.
