Host Tim Templeton talks with Soraya Correa, former Department of Homeland Security Chief Procurement Officer, about several dichotomies: that failure is necessary to succeed; that even though problem definition may be multi-dimensional, it’s essential for all to speak a common language; and most importantly, it’s critical to act with a sense of urgency in both peacetime and wartime.
