The Center for Organizational Excellence, Inc. (COE) announced today their award for the U.S. Department of State (DOS) Foreign Service Institute (FSI) to provide assistance and recommendations for enhancing and streamlining FSI’s adoption and integration of educational technologies. FSI seeks to maximize the institute’s training effectiveness on a global scale and ensure that DOS personnel develop the skills necessary to advance the nation’s foreign policy agenda.

COE and its partners, DevTech Systems, Inc. and Third Space Creative, have joined together as Team DevTech to support this endeavor. The team will provide a comprehensive report with recommendations for mainstream and emerging technologies that will help FSI maximize learner interactivity and engagement, retention, and application to the workplace. Team DevTech has supported similar endeavors for government agencies, educational institutions, and non-profits ranging from DOS and USAID to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.

“Team DevTech has proven experience helping organizations develop and integrate state-of-the-art educational technologies to maximize training effectiveness,” said Steve Goodrich, COE president and chief executive officer. “Our experience with innovative, emerging educational technologies, combined with our expertise performing program assessments for large federal agencies will allow FSI to identify emerging technologies that will maximize the overall training experience.”
