Good afternoon Stakeholder,
The planning teams from GIPSA, FSA and AMS
crossed a major milestone last week as we completed high-level organizational
charts and projected implementation timelines. The first stages of implementation are already occurring and we intend
for the public facing transition to happen by the end of the calendar
year.
Below are links to the high-level
organizational charts.
AMS Organizational Chart
Federal Grain Inspection Service
Commodity Procurement Program
Fair Trade Practices Program
We have also made significant progress on
planning for the migration of IT functions including email, shared drives and
VOIP telephones. Guidance will be
distributed this week to affected employees.
Last week we asked you, "what does
success look like?" and we received some great responses!
Some of the responses we received include:
“A successful transition would be a move with
no disruption to our customers.”
“There needs to be a clear understanding of
the organization’s vision. Creating a vision will help direct
this important change effort. Strategies should be developed for
achieving the vision and then metrics can be designed to measure success.”
I Agree!
Please don’t forget to submit your thoughts,
questions and concerns to employeeqs@ams.usda.gov
or amsadministratoroffice@ams.usda.gov,
and if you haven’t already, sign up to receive future updates through GovDelivery and remind your colleagues.
Bruce Summers
Acting AMS Administrator
