- Use generative AI tools to draft, synthesize, and improve People program materials including communications, role profiles, and manager guides, with your judgment applied to every output before it goes anywhere

- What success looks like:
- Within 30 days, you have mapped your portfolio, built trust with key leader relationships, and can articulate the top people priorities in each business unit
- Within 90 days, you are running your first performance or engagement cycle touchpoint with confidence, and leaders are coming to you proactively with people questions
- Within 90 days, you have identified and closed at least one meaningful friction point in a core People program, with a measurable improvement in leader or employee experience, and you have at least one AI-assisted workflow running that you built or improved
- At 6 months, managers in your portfolio are demonstrably stronger at giving feedback, running calibrations, and navigating people decisions with less escalation
