I think the key thing to hit is "what is Executive S&OP"? Should we have some bullet points somewhere that give some basic description? And can we link this back to some key points:?1) This is about Executive" Decision Making"2) This is about" Business Performance" (not just demand/supply balancing)3) This is not "detailed execution review"
