- Assign and coordinate ownership among platform leadership of all content delivered by CrossBoundary team members
- Identify, trial, and select third party providers for all training delivered by experts external to CrossBoundary
- Communicate each platform’s Curriculum to all platform team members, in such a way that inspires engagement and excitement
