Breaking Calcified Bureaucracy with Daniel P. Driscoll, Secretary of the U.S. Army | The Agile CEO by Scrum Inc.

In this premiere episode of Season 2 of The Agile CEO, JJ Sutherland sits down with Daniel P. Driscoll, Secretary of the U.S. Army, to discuss the launch of one of the most ambitious transformation efforts in U.S. military history.

Driscoll, the youngest Secretary of the Army since George Washington’s first appointee, is a veteran of the Iraq War, a lawyer, and a former business leader. Now, he’s leading the charge to modernize the Army and redefine how a 1.2 million-person organization makes decisions, learns, and adapts.In this conversation, Driscoll explains why urgency is non-negotiable, how Agile principles are helping dismantle outdated systems, and what it takes to shift from rigid hierarchies to fast, feedback-driven teams — especially inside the U.S. Army, the oldest and largest branch of the military, whose traditions and scale make transformation both essential and especially challenging.

If you’re a leader facing entrenched systems, this episode provides a rare inside look at what it takes to bring speed, adaptability, and feedback-driven decision-making to one of the world’s largest institutions — and the lessons extend far beyond the military.
