• Cross-Functional Collaboration and Change Leadership - Engage with all levels of the organization to drive alignment, secure buy-in, and foster a culture of continuous improvement

• Performance Monitoring & Long-Term Impact - Define and track key performance indicators to ensure initiatives deliver lasting business value, not just short-term fixes.
