(EX: Lead facilitator tasked with the workshop design and oversight of a month-long series of cross-functional (IT, data analytics, technology, engineering, and operations) workshops. Workshops identified use cases vital to operational success, data format and frequency needed to support critical decision-making, and recommended priorities. One technical attendee noted how he “avoids workshops like the plague as they are usually such a waste of time. But these were so different and so valuable. Well done.”
