Department of State Integrated Logistics Management System (ILMS) Change Management and Training (CMT)
Team Leads: Nathalie Stevens, Division Director, Logistics Management System, U.S. Department of State and Mirena Hine, Deputy Division Director, Logistics Management System, U.S. Department of State
Achievement: The Integrated Logistics Management System (ILMS) Change Management Team at the U.S. Department of State provides global logistics training for over 35,000 users in 282 embassies and consulates in 180 countries across the globe. The global pandemic halted the team’s ability to train users. Over the course of a few months, the team transformed the program. Weeklong in-person courses were adapted into engaging virtual courses. Courses were assessed to identify learning gaps and increase durability, and adult learning methods were incorporated to increase engagement with students. Then, virtual training tools were integrated to support a variety of cultural and literacy needs, on-demand videos were created to support users 24/7, and a new offering was created to diagnose embassy supply chain issues and provide individual support. The data in the months following demonstrated the impact: users trained increased by 47 percent, post outreach increased by 22 percent, and data quality increased by 49 percent. The program is now positioned to support ILMS users across the globe and power diplomacy no matter what the future holds!
