Facilitate executive reporting, steering committee discussions, escalations, budget and schedule reporting, and key program decisions.
Support stronger financial controls, role-based access, segregation of duties, business processes, and reporting in the future-state environment.
Lead business readiness, stakeholder alignment, process change, training, adoption, and transition to the new ERP environment.
