Turn training into a working routine
Choose a real task, let the team practise on it and make time to compare the results. Champions need access to the sources and someone to ask when a workflow fails. The articles below focus on adoption, learning and weekly habits, rather than changing the organisation chart before anyone has built anything.
Look for use after launch
Attendance is not adoption. Look at whether the workflow is used, whether people trust the review step and whether the same friction keeps sending them back to manual work. Use those observations to change the training or the process. Role design belongs in the org design cluster; here the question is what makes the new way of working stick.
