• Work with Portfolio & Partnerships, which leads value assurance, so benefits are baselined up front and results are credible.
• Lead the method for how Trans Mountain finds, designs and improves how work gets done: value stream mapping, future-state process design and practical process change. Process comes first, then people, then technology.
