    • Develop and execute communication plans that keep all stakeholders informed and engaged throughout the transformation journey.
  3. Hands-on Execution & Delivery
    • Lead transformation projects from initiation to completion, ensuring milestones are met and results are achieved.
    • Work alongside teams to implement new technologies, processes, and operating models.
    • Provide hands-on support and troubleshooting during the rollout of transformation initiatives.
    • Facilitate training, workshops, and coaching to enhance business capability and resilience to change.
  4. Performance Monitoring & Continuous Improvement
    • Define and track KPIs to measure the success and impact of transformation efforts.
    • Continuously analyse the effectiveness of change initiatives and make necessary adjustments.
    • Drive a culture of continuous improvement by identifying opportunities for further enhancement.
    • Gather feedback from stakeholders and end-users to refine change strategies.
  5. Technical Skills
    • Strong knowledge of change management methodologies.
    • Experience in digital transformation, process improvement, and business model innovation.
    • Familiarity with Agile, Lean, and other modern transformation approaches.
    • Proficiency in project management tools and techniques.
    • Understanding of emerging technologies and their impact on business transformation.
