Collect relevant facts for escalations in case of conflicts (multiple customers needing the same resource) and communicate to your manager. Partner with managers to support career progression for consultants, including allocation to prescribed training or job shadowing. Follow Workforce Management processes and recommend improvements when opportunities arise.
