• Ensure AI usage is clear, repeatable, and consistent to shift from manual to AI-assisted workflows

Shape and Prioritize High-Value AI Opportunities
• Understand pain points and translate needs into clear, actionable AI use cases; Identify where AI can deliver meaningful workflow improvements and practical impact
• Bring structured recommendations to inform prioritization and sequencing of AI efforts
• Act as a bridge between business users and AI/product teams to ensure solutions reflect real needs, are adopted, and deliver value; Provide insight into what will drive adoption and proactively identify where solutions are likely to stall
• Support business teams in owning outcomes and driving adoption; Ensure success metrics are defined and use data to continuously refine prioritization and enablement strategies

Drive Continuous Improvement and Scalable Adoption
• Gather feedback from users on what’s working, where friction exists, and where trust is low

• Continuously refine enablement materials, guidance, and approach
• Enable acceptable AI usage, citizen development, and sharing & reuse of AI tools
• Track and report AI impact
