Designed a global strategy for training to 12k+ global employees featuring multi-language Instructor-led training, video, documentation, social media, and in-app training guidance.  Began a worldwide traveling training tour when COVID hit I pivoted to a focus on our online options exclusively. Consistently approached the users through multiple layers of touchpoints in order to drive awareness, adoption, and aptitude (know about it, use it, use it well).  The users came from 10 different product lines, within which processes lacked understanding, consistency, and accountability.  The challenge was to address the various product lines, training them on the new processes and system, while enforcing accountability to avoid reverting back to old processes.
