• Integrate resources into existing platforms and workflows to drive accessibility and sustained usage
• Continuously refine materials based on user feedback and evolving needs
• Gather and synthesize feedback from teams, champions, and stakeholders to identify barriers to adoption

• Identify collaboration friction points and drive targeted interventions to improve effectiveness
• Contribute to the evolution of change capabilities and global teaming strategy based on data and insights
• Partner with global RDO, functional leaders, and transformation teams to ensure consistent messaging and alignment
