7) Drive Change Management and Organizational Engagement

  • Build organizational understanding of the M2030 strategy and what success looks like at each leadership layer.
  • Coordinate communication plans, workshops, alignment sessions, and management reviews to sustain momentum.
  • Ensure managers and directors are equipped to cascade priorities and engage their teams in execution.

8) Manage Risks, Dependencies, and Resource Trade-Offs
