• Establish adoption metrics and key performance indicators (reach, utilization, proficiency, sustained use) to measure progress and outcomes 
• Monitor adoption trends, usage data, and user feedback to assess effectiveness of interventions 
• Contribute to Monthly Engagement Metrics Dashboard with adoption-specific indicators and insights 
• Develop targeted interventions and course corrections based on adoption data to drive continuous improvement and maximize transformation value 
• Facilitate stakeholder engagement through structured outreach, role-based touchpoints, and feedback loops focused on adoption challenges and successes 
• Partner with division chiefs, supervisors, and change champions to reinforce adoption messaging and provide hands-on support to users 
• Support transparency and build trust by clearly communicating the benefits, impacts, and support available for new capabilities 
• Help build a culture of awareness, collaboration, and shared ownership by demonstrating the value of new OCIO capabilities through adoption success stories and use cases 
• Identify and cultivate early adopters and champions who can model desired behaviors and influence peers 
• Reinforce positive adoption behaviors through recognition, feedback, and continuous engagement
