In 2016, Chesterfield County’s Information Systems Technology (IST) department initiated one of its largest projects in history – transitioning its entire government workforce of 4,300+ employees to Microsoft Office 365. This was a particularly complex project because each department historically funded its own Microsoft Office products, resulting in a variety of different versions of Office across the organization, as well as significantly diverse practices for software usage, file storage, etc. IST solicited the assistance of the Chesterfield County’s Learning & Performance Center (LPC) to develop a learning strategy that would provide flexibility to meet the varied needs of each department, yet offer a holistic solution resulting in consistency in practical application moving forward.
