Why Watch
This year, IT Concepts expanded its human capital capabilities to focus strategically on investing in people. By training the entire company in design thinking, IT Concepts aims to deliver greater value to its customers. In today’s environment, where budgets, resources and priorities are tight, IT Concepts provides the expertise, agility and innovation needed to navigate these challenges.
Unlike traditional public sector human capital projects that can take over two years with a waterfall approach, IT Concepts accelerates delivery by using Agile practices and cloud technologies. This ensures faster, more secure optimization of capabilities across both legacy and modern HR and pay platforms as agencies modernize their human capital systems.
“I am very excited to be part of this time of change and growth with IT Concepts where a greater public and private partnership is happening at a broader scale, and with the rapid advancement and adoption of newer technologies such as AI/ML and cloud, it has created an environment where government, contractor and vendor/technology partners are solving problems and co-creating solutions together, and the focus is truly more about how we can work together smarter and not settle for the status quo,'” Choi said. “I like this quote by Aristotle, ‘The whole is more than the sum of its parts.'”
Fun fact: Outside of work, Choi enjoys spending time with his family traveling, playing board games, dining out and watching movies and sports. He also likes playing tennis, basketball, baseball and recently picked up pickleball. While he may not be as quick as before, he values the competition and social aspect.
