- Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information) reasoning (using rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions) and selfcorrection. AI encompasses a broad range of techniques and approaches including machine learning neural networks natural language processing computer vision robotics and expert systems among others. The ultimate goal of AI is to create machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence such as understanding natural language recognizing patterns making decisions and solving problems.
- Authentic Communicator Expresses ideas and information both verbally and in writing clearly and credibly. Listens to understand and fosters constructive dialogue.

- Functional Expertise A strong understanding of various technologies platforms and systems relevant to the organizations architecture such as networking databases cloud computing and security.
- Machine Learning Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer science that involves the development of algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to progressively improve their performance on a specific task through learning from data without being explicitly programmed. In essence machine learning algorithms learn from patterns and relationships in data to make predictions decisions or identify patterns often with the goal of optimizing some objective function or improving performance over time.
- Process Orchestration Process orchestration refers to the coordination and management of various tasks activities and resources within a workflow or business process. It involves organizing sequencing and automating individual tasks or subprocesses to ensure that the overall process operates smoothly and efficiently. Process orchestration typically involves integrating disparate systems applications and services to streamline operations and improve collaboration across different parts of an organization. It often employs workflow management tools automation software and integration platforms to facilitate communication data exchange and decisionmaking among different components of the process. The goal of process orchestration is to optimize the flow of work minimize delays and bottlenecks and enhance overall productivity and performance.
- Strategic Outlook Examines issues generates ideas creates future scenarios and develops plans with a longterm perspective. Ensures shortterm goals support longterm strategy and that organizational/functional strategy aligns with and supports MPCs overall business strategy.
- Systems Thinking The ability to analyze complex systems and understand their interdependencies considering both technical and business aspects to develop comprehensive and scalable architectures.
