Hoffman: Let’s see, you mentioned
the concern about currently leveraging resources,
what is your greatest concern,
that we don’t know how to leverage it
or we are in our stove pipes where don’t want to leverage it or...
Medina: I think it is a combination of things,
but if I look at anecdotally people I have seen retire,
particularly when they have a policy expertise
or technical expertise and it is just an interesting phenomena
that I observed as somewhat of an outsider where we say,
oh so and so is retiring in a year.
I mean people plan out these retirements in the federal governments
and you have a long lead time in many cases.
And we look forward to celebrating someone’s life
and career in the federal service as we should,
but that time I don’t think we maximize that transfer of knowledge and that concerns me.
