Identify process gaps, inefficiencies, failure points, and maturity blockers and drive continuous improvement initiatives. Ensure processes are executable, measurable, and auditable, not just documented. Support change enablement and adoption by producing clear process documentation, visuals, standards, and guidance. Measure and report process maturity and effectiveness using defined Key Performance Indicators and TOM‑aligned metrics.
