Team members are key facilitators across functions to meet Speed, Volume & Cost Goals for the organization. Hence, keeping stakeholders at front of mind at all times is a key principle within this Team.
Balancing priorities is a must, however, being thorough, following up and closing the loop with stakeholders on actions, priorities, trade-offs, escalations and effectiveness is key.
When problem solving we bring related programs together, spent time to analyze and root cause collectively and define follow up actions, align on responsibilities and take actions in line with our bandwidth.
