Over the course of the two years, they will examine information about the business, review actions taken by other managers/leaders & its impact, and make a bunch of team decisions about processes, people, customers, expenditures and more.

At the end of each year, they’ll get to analyze and see the impact of their decisions and actions on the business in the three major categories:
