• Analyzing completed implementation work to find ways to improve your own process & that of the team.
• Embracing a pattern of execute, assess, improve, repeat & evolving as the team & organization evolves.
• Be a subject matter expert for the Implementation Team, using coaching and leadership skills to help colleagues.

What will you need to succeed:
