      • Apr 2022 - Present

      In my role, I leverage Change management plans and techniques to effectively implement change. As each of you might be familiar with, it is always great to launch a new and exciting improvement or solution. The reality is that deploying a new solution, process or system doesn’t create a benefit –the benefit comes from people adopting, changing, and utilizing a new system or doing something differently. People need to know what to do, how to do it, and why it matters that they do it. I leverage a Change management methodology that enables a framework to efficiently and effectively implement organizational change. Used properly, these methods can deliver a number of bottom-line benefits, from better project outcomes to decreased resistance from employees to shortened project timelines.
