• Identify adoption risks and resistance patterns early and develop proactive mitigation strategies that integrate with the project plan.
• Engage senior stakeholders and business leaders on change impact, readiness, and reinforcement expectations — adapting approach and message to audience.
• Develop and execute communication plans that address the needs of impacted employees at all levels, from front-line staff to functional leadership.
• Partner with EPMO project managers and HDT leads to ensure change management milestones are embedded in project governance and delivery timelines.
• Lead impact and readiness assessments for assigned initiatives; synthesize findings into actionable plans and present risk recommendations to project governance.
• Monitor adoption indicators throughout the initiative lifecycle and adjust the change approach dynamically as conditions evolve.
• Ensure adoption risks are surfaced in governance forums prior to go-live; maintain visibility of readiness status with EPMO and business owners.
• Develop and deliver role-based training for assigned initiatives; partner with L&D on content development and delivery logistics as appropriate.
• Identify learning gaps and recommend training interventions that address knowledge and ability barriers to adoption.
• Partner with business leaders and sponsors to identify and embed reinforcement mechanisms that sustain change beyond go-live.
• Conduct post-go-live monitoring and provide structured handoff to business owners with documented sustainability plans.
