He further added that this progress will guide them for further important discussion to set up the game tightly.
Harrison added, “It will guide our investment, drive our relationships, and make things happen locally and nationally. The Strategy, Domestic Structure, New Competition and CPA are all interlinked so it is right that we share all the details – together and in context – at the same time across the game. This will happen in the New Year.”
