• Establish feedback loops and use qualitative and quantitative insights to evaluate effectiveness, identify emerging needs and prioritize improvements.
• Inspire and advise stakeholders by bringing up-to-date business continuity, crisis management and resilience perspectives into capability-development activities.
• Promote the value of BCCM&R roles and responsibilities and support stakeholder commitment, adoption and sustainable ways of working.
• Improve, standardize and streamline approaches by using appropriate learning, collaboration, automation and reporting tools, including Microsoft Teams, Camtasia, Power BI, Learning Requester and other Microsoft tools.
