Creating a Vision for the Future of Work

The events of the past few years have changed the way we collaborate and work together forever. We are experiencing a unique moment in time, one that allows us to consider and implement innovative and forward-thinking solutions to the most complex challenges. At the forefront of this change, the Office of Management, Strategy and Solutions is modernizing standards for where, when, and how the State Department works in the post-pandemic world, ensuring the Department remains competitive, agile, and secure in its support of U.S. national security and diplomacy. By empowering data-driven decision-making and promoting a high-performing and forward-looking organization, M/SS strives to serve the Department and its employees through innovation and creative management solutions.

 In this episode of the Mission is Possible podcast, produced in partnership between Guidehouse and American University, host Sasha O'Connell speaks with Janice deGarmo, Director of the Office of Management Strategy and Solutions (M/SS) at the U.S. Department of State. The two explore how the Department of State, the nation’s leading diplomacy agency, embraced these challenges, created a vision for the future of work, and is navigating changing talent and workforce dynamics.
