Support the definition, adoption, and enforcement of OT standards and best practices for system lifecycle management, upgrades, and vendor governance. Monitor industry trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory requirements to ensure the OT strategy remains current, compliant, and forward‑looking. Promote knowledge sharing across plants and teams, fostering cross‑functional collaboration and consistent OT practices enterprise‑wide.
