\nSupport the implementation of Finance capability frameworks and skills assessments.
\nDevelop programmes focused on future Finance capabilities, including AI adoption, digital skills and new operating models.
\nFacilitate workshops, training sessions and leadership discussions where required.
\nCoach and support subject matter experts to effectively share knowledge and contribute to capability-building initiatives.
