• Participate, plan, and/or facilitate strategic and functional discovery sessions, blending technical and functional concepts and empathetic approaches that demonstrate an understanding of client challenges and elicit valuable, feasible solution approaches towards resolution while applying diligent time management and intent in achieving workshop outcomes/objectives.

• Ensure that ratified design decisions and associated functional capabilities and limitations are upheld and reinforced during a subsequent solution development and implementation project (only offering alternatives which will not compromise the integrity or value of the final deliverables, and immediately initiating necessary change documentation and signoff where needed).
• Provide (or solicit through CoE or other resources) solution development leadership, guidance, assistance, collaboration, and support to the wider project team to promote achievement of our shared goals and deadlines.

• During your role as a trusted RCA expert, you will exhibit: “Lifelong learning” - we continuously learn, share, and apply new technologies and consulting engagement best practices, both through self-elected study and assigned courses/certifications. The nature of our customers, new company operational models, shifts in industry norms and expectations, and the acceleration of technology means we must maintain broad knowledge of these developments and apply them creatively in front of our customers in real time. We don’t say “i don’t know how”, we say “I can learn this and bring my perspective to it”.
• “Thinking on your feet” - A great functional consultant can apply creative lateral thinking and problem-solving skills even to unfamiliar situations. We do not always have all the answers, but we can quickly familiarize ourselves with a scenario, can understand and differentiate questions from problems, can relate to unique challenges, and can apply our critical thinking skills and expertise to formulate feasible and relevant resolution paths. We don’t say “This is unfamiliar and scary” we say “I understand the root cause, and am willing to risk a calculated solution path”
• “Flexibility to achieve shared goals” - your skills across technology, processes, operations, and customer relationship nurturing may be called upon beyond an immediate project, assignment, or even this job description (while respecting your time and workload). We don’t say “no” or “I don’t know how”; we say “I can figure this out, help, and learn” then get stuck in.
• “Extreme ownership” - we are all considered accountable for the success of our clients and colleagues. As such, and especially as a senior role in the practice, you are encouraged and expected to speak up where things can be better, or where ownership of your duties are compromised, so that we can all take accountability and consider remedies. We don’t say “that is not my responsibility”, we say “I can ensure success by taking and owning action”.
