    Modern IV&V: Improving Risk, Governance, and Delivery

    IV&V is shifting from oversight to decision support, with a growing focus on outcomes-based IV&V. But many agencies are still working to apply it effectively. In this episode, Stacey Moss is joined by Ron Puent of Public Knowledge® and Kristen Lindblom from the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to discuss how IV&V is being used across complex system initiatives. They explore the impact of modular systems on agency capacity, where traditional approaches fall short, and how teams can use IV&V to strengthen vendor management, reduce duplication, and act on risks in real time.

    Human-Centered Project Management: Where Clarity Supports Accountability

    Projects do not stall because of tools. They stall because of people, decisions, and unclear accountability. In this episode of the Igniting Impact Podcast, host Stacey Moss is joined by Naomi Snodgrass and Allison Ward of Public Knowledge® to examine why project management often breaks down in complex environments and what leaders can do differently. The conversation focuses on execution, decision clarity, and accountability, including how the DitDah™ methodology uses intentional structure to support trust, alignment, and sustained momentum across teams. This episode is for leaders managing competing priorities, shifting requirements, and real-world constraints who need projects to move forward without losing the people doing the work.
