The Transportation Department and the Department of Health and Human Services are taking the buzz out of innovation.

While many agencies and companies talk about how they are becoming more innovative in how they work and address mission areas, DoT and HHS actually are experiencing the transformation.

Transportation hired a chief innovation officer, Chris Gerdes, a professor from Stanford University, for a one-year stint.
