Help lead and support the development of change management plans, evaluation metrics and resources (e.g. playbooks, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)) to support implementation of recommendations.
Provide on-unit coaching and support during pilots and roll-out.
Co-design and deliver optimized orientation plans, competency frameworks, and evaluation tools, and coach and mentor frontline staff, educators and leaders.
