Create the governance structure and operating model needed to support effective implementation, stakeholder confidence, and long-term scalability of the TDA process across multiple engineering organizations.
Analyze TDA results, organizational feedback, business priorities, and workforce data to identify capability strengths, gaps, risks, and emerging needs at the organization, Business Unit, and enterprise level.
Synthesize findings into actionable insights and strategic recommendations that inform development planning, learning investment priorities, succession support, and technical capability decisions at the leadership level.
Help executive leadership teams use TDA outputs to understand technical workforce readiness and guide enterprise-level actions related to development, talent strategy, and future capability needs.
Lead the modernization of technical capability development through AI-enabled approaches that improve how assessment insights, technical knowledge, and learning resources are organized, accessed, and scaled across the enterprise.
Identify and implement opportunities to use modern tools and digital solutions to make technical learning more scalable, searchable, and effective, setting the standard for how GE Vernova leverages technology in capability development.
