Service line facilitation - You will facilitate the ongoing development of knowledge and capabilities in service line areas, helping to shape and prioritize the knowledge agenda, develop training curriculum for new associates, overseeing knowledge management tools and systems, and facilitating regular meetings and calls with the relevant practitioners.
