This Podcast is generated from a presentation at Drupal GovCon 2025, "From Uncertainty to Direction: Turning Disruption into Opportunity,"that features Ed Gordon from Polaris Solutions LLC, who discusses the critical role of organizational alignment—specifically people, processes, and portfolios—in navigating disruptive environments. Gordon highlights the importance of a clear mission and purpose to achieve sustainable growth and deliver value, even when facing market unpredictability. He presents the "PRESS" method (People, Requirements, Expectations, Structure, and Systems) as a framework to integrate and maintain this alignment within projects, using a real-world example of losing and then regaining a contract due to alignment shifts. Ultimately, the source emphasizes that understanding and proactively aligning an organization's core components is key to not just surviving, but thriving and differentiating itself in a constantly changing GovCon industry.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
