Think back to your first day at a new company. Most likely, things were unfamiliar, and you may have felt a little overwhelmed from meeting so many new faces and entering a new work environment.

Culture Insight 2: Work, Lead, Act

Work, Lead, Act. This is one of the five areas of Arc Aspicio’s culture that represents how we work every day for our clients to change the world.

Culture Insight 1: Bravely Explore and Innovate

Exploration comes in many forms, like choosing the less-defined trail on a hike, putting the navigation system away and driving to see where the road takes you, or finally taking that creative writing class you always wanted to take. For a lot of people, exploration simply means taking the time to do something without knowing what the outcome will be.

Resiliency When Technology Fails

Resiliency When Technology Fails

The Federal Government relies on technology to deliver critical services to citizens and to protect the homeland. Communication, enabled by technology, allows government agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate with local partners when responding to emergency events. But what happens when technology fails? How can operations continue when a cyber security attack compromises communications, or an extreme weather event obliterates IT equipment?

Combining Design+Data with Behavioral Science Is a Catalyst for Action

As access to data is expanding at an unprecedented pace, Government agencies are developing data analytic capabilities to support data-driven decision-making.

Human Trafficking – A Crime Like No Other

Human Trafficking – A Crime Like No Other

Human Trafficking is an insidious practice – one that is very hard to crack down on. The complexities of human trafficking make it especially hard to stop. Though organized crime, drug trafficking, or other global illicit networks come in infinite iterations, human trafficking is even more nuanced due to its commodity – human beings. All humans – from your daughter or son, to your neighbor, to your teacher, are vulnerable to the pernicious cycle of human trafficking, and an understanding of this is both vital to solving the problem, while also making it extremely difficult to investigate, prosecute, and ultimately mitigate.

Sparking a National Conversation on Human Trafficking

Sparking a National Conversation on Human Trafficking

In November 2019, facilitators from Arc Aspicio’s Strategy Innovation Lab (SILab) led a dynamic conversation with a distinguished group of human trafficking professionals with experience in federal law enforcement, victim services, non-profit organizations, academia, the private sector, and included a survivor. I was part of a team of facilitators who provided ground rules and led a small group’s conversation with prepared questions. My background of twenty-eight years of Federal law enforcement has given me a breadth of experience attending and participating in human trafficking events across the United States and abroad, usually aimed at training personnel or presenting information about this crime. Seldom do they engage human trafficking experts across profession areas to share experiences and perspectives and strategize actionable solutions.
