Problems can also have downstream impacts, so this role must be good with awareness of overarching project & timelines, identify and manage dependencies, plan to avoid surprises/risks as much as possible and be able to influence up and down the chain of command.
Organization – Agility is required as direction can frequently change on a dime with little notice and all other deliverables will still be due.
Change & Process - We need a visionary who can see opportunities for improvement and make changes quickly, even at only 70% baked to improve our customers' services.
