  2. Establish and sustain a high-functioning PH leadership operating rhythm, creating the connective tissue needed for aligned, effective site leadership.
  3. Build the frameworks and relationships that bridge the PH site with global organisations, reducing coordination gaps for the many PH-based employees who report to managers outside the Philippines.
