Adapt to changing priorities and business needs, being proactive in identifying areas for improvement and implementing action plans. Organizational Effectiveness & Cross-Functional Collaboration Develop a deep understanding of the goals, priorities, workflows, and interdependencies across LCA's departments to identify opportunities to improve collaboration, communication, alignment, and organizational efficiency. Organize and facilitate cross-functional conversations that allow colleagues to do their best work – deepening relationships and understanding of organizational context and ideating and solutioning to address shared challenges together. Build trusted relationships throughout the organization and influence outcomes without direct authority. Partner with department-level leaders and HR Business Partner as relevant to support effective operational initiatives and processes, including organizational changes and training. Process Improvement & Knowledge Management Identify and drive continuous process improvement to enhance collaboration, communication, alignment, experience, and overall organizational efficiency. Identify, create and maintain solutions that support effective organizational knowledge management within LCA, so the right people have the right information at the right time to maximize opportunities. This will include oversight and management of the LCA tech stack, such as shared leadership calendars, relationship repositories, and other knowledge management applications. Collaborate with IBP team and others in LCA to develop and maintain a “knowledge center” platform that pools insights and achievements from the LCA departments to enable effective and timely consumption by other Bentley colleagues.
