you can go to my website at theagile.world and read my latest articles or get a copy of my latest

book, The Agile Workforce, now available on Amazon and other retailers. My name is Greg Kielstrom,

and I'm the host of the Agile World podcast. Today, we're going to talk about the citizen experience
