Here it is.

The sixteenth episode of The “Innovate Guam Podcast” with Rob “The Innovation Coach” Jackson.

The Honorable Frank Blas Jr., Speaker of the 38th Guam Legislature is my guest.

We talk about what is needed for Guam to succeed in the coming technological boom of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

We examine three areas:

1.) What is needed to prepare the workforce for the technology of the future.

2.) What specific technologies are needed to solve specific problems to improve quality of life or efficiency; and

3.) What government policies and initiatives need to be enacted to improve quality of life?

… and I ask Frank …

1.) What are the current procurement system barriers and its areas of improvement?

2.) Where is the accountability in the government of Guam?

3.) What is his vision to make Guam more efficient and business friendly?
