As part of a growing Change Enablement practice, I contributed to the design and delivery of a unique capability at UHG. In several project roles, I partnered with business area SMEs to equip teams across the enterprise by focusing on individual and organizational elements of change to mobilize employee engagement, foster innovation, and advance agility – creating sustainable change and results.​As the change lead on my most recent project, our team helped facilitate a new enterprise learning experience powered through the Oracle Learning Cloud and an exciting new Learning Experience Platform (LXP). Over the course of this multi-phased release, we consistently engaged a group of 3K+ stakeholders on anticipated changes and business impacts while creating resources and connection to ensure operational readiness at go-live.In this role, I've had the opportunity to consult and prepare senior executives, field complex questions on a wide range of issues, and influence change adoption as our People Team continues on an ambitious people experience transformation journey.I genuinely look forward to navigating organizational challenges of all scope and scale, am motivated by my team and client relationships, and look forward to continued growth both professionally and personally.
