This will require the implementation of robust workstreams for all projects, with appropriate change control processes. You will regularly review and update project programmes, and report significant variances to the Service Improvement & Governance Manager.

A key function is to identify, develop, and initiate innovations and solutions where precedents and procedures may not exist. It will need a cross-functionally approach to solve problems and implement changes.
