  • Coordinate teams to deliver process, policy, and system changes on time
  • Build stakeholder maps and communication plans to reduce resistance to change
  • Track progress with dashboards, action logs, and weekly status reporting
  • Facilitate workshops to align leaders on decisions, scope, and priorities
  • Support training and rollout plans so teams adopt new ways of working
