By DIA Public Affrs Team

For most people, the concept of policy is often tedious and complex, making it a daunting task to compreh the myriad of guidelines that govern DoD operations. Yet, amidst this complexity lies an opportunity for innovation.

Since its launch, it has gned traction among users across multiple government agencies, processing over 100,000 queries by more than 6,000 individuals from just one source.

Notably, this DoD-specific tool has been adopted beyond the Department's boundaries and was awarded an innovation accolade by the Office of Personnel Management OPM.

Congress and OMB were particularly intrigued by GAMECHANGER as a leveraging processing and business intelligence capabilities across the Federal Government, highlighting its potential transformative impact.
