• Adaptability – Must be flexible as processes and topics evolve.
• Stakeholder Engagement – Experience working with SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) to extract key information and translate it into structured sessions.
• Content Curation / Creation – Ability to curate MS resources and organise LSE-specific processes (e.g., requesting SharePoint sites) into digestible training/demo formats.
• Demo Delivery – Run interactive sessions (e.g., "This is what you can do with Power BI") and showcase real-use cases from other champions / departments within the institution
• Collaboration with IT/Tech Teams – Work alongside IT/DTS teams and pilot departments to ensure smooth support and execution.
• Proactive Engagement – Some departments will be more advanced; must tailor content from foundational to high-level based on audience needs.
