materials, and recommendations. + Evaluate whether delivered AI capabilities are producing intended operational, employee, customer, financial, or compliance outcomes. + Monitor adoption, user readiness, process integration, and operational performance after implementation. + Use data and stakeholder feedback to identify performance gaps and recommend corrective actions. + Capture lessons learned and incorporate them into future planning, governance, and delivery practices. **Change Management and Operational Readiness** + Integrate stakeholder engagement, communications, training, adoption, and readiness activities into the overall program plan. + Assess organizational readiness and identify barriers that could limit adoption or business value. + Coordinate operational-readiness reviews before major launches, releases, or transitions. + Ensure support models, ownership, documentation, monitoring, controls, and escalation procedures are established before implementation. + Partner with business leaders to define new processes, responsibilities, and ways of working enabled by AI capabilities. + Promote sustainable adoption by balancing innovation and delivery speed with operational readiness and responsible use. **Program-Management Excellence** + Create scalable program-management frameworks, governance mechanisms, templates, playbooks, and
