• Facilitate working sessions with stakeholders to gather input, build alignment, and drive progress.
• Create and maintain SharePoint sites, knowledge repositories, guidance materials, and supporting documentation.
• Monitor adoption, effectiveness, and outcomes of implemented solutions.
• Track risks, issues, dependencies, and actions related to improvement initiatives.
• Support development of standards, operating procedures, playbooks, and best practices.
