KEY LEARNING & TAKEAWAYS Back to Your Desk A greater appreciation for Finance
Developing a business plan before picking a strategy
We are all different in style but were able to not assign specific roles, yet still work together – part of this success came from the fact that we have each MBTI dimension on our team

KEY LEARNING & TAKEAWAYS Back to Your Desk
All of us had a voice in the process and skin in the game – so no regrets.
We all valued everyone’s input and their point of view.
No one came to the table with functional bias and allowed everyone’s input to count towards the final decision.
We stayed true to our strategy, but willing to adapt and learn from round to round.
