• Using assessment data to identify learning opportunities and measure impact

Stakeholder Partnership & Change Enablement

• Supporting change management by serving as a liaison between Customer Care and cross-functional teams (e.g., Product/Tech, Projects, Sales), translating changes into clear learning content and readiness activities

• Enabling BPO alignment by supporting BPO teams through delivering/rolling out training updates, ensuring consistent knowledge and service standards across partners

• Partnering with stakeholders to ensure training aligns with business priorities and operational needs
