• Automated repetitive manual tasks
• Standardized procedures across teams
• Implemented quality control checkpoints

3. Technology Integration

• Selected and implemented appropriate software solutions
• Integrated systems to improve data flow
• Created dashboards for real-time performance monitoring

4. Change Management
