I execute a structured change management approach to support organizational goals and bottom-line objectives and incorporate organizational level outcome measures/metrics into the evaluation analysis of workforce development initiatives. I apply in-depth knowledge of adult learning theory and performance improvement models and works with leadership to strengthen the organization’s learning transfer system thereby improving learners’ abilities to apply new knowledge and skills to their roles and responsibilities.
