- Ensure content intended to support AI solutions has a clear owner, authoritative source, audience, lifecycle status, permissions, review date, and appropriate metadata.
- Coordinate requirements for review and approval automation while technical resources perform configuration and development.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive Knowledge Management guidance, training materials, communications, office hours, and adoption support.
- Relaunch and sustain the Knowledge Management Champions network with clear roles, expectations, and escalation paths.
- Partner with enterprise IT Knowledge Management teams to apply central standards while adapting implementation to specific business needs.
- Maintain program-level reporting on roadmap progress, risks, decisions, content health, adoption, and measurable outcomes.
- Establish a sustainable operating and handoff model to ensure Knowledge Management practices continue effectively after initial implementation.
