This role and the small team reporting to it, will be vital to drive change and complete our transformation.  For clarity, this BTO may only be needed for the next 1-2 MTMP cycles (3-6 years).  A key outcome for this team is to provide guidance on upskilling the organization so that once the transition to the ecosystem strategy is achieved, the organization is self-reliant and self-propagating.  This will need to be reviewed periodically by the MTS Executive Leadership Team.  As such, a key accountability for the BTO Director will be upskilling team members and ensuring effective career paths exist to transition them back into the business in permanent, value-adding roles.
