Standard Reporting and Best Practices POD will be established that meets quarterly to continuously review, improve, and maintain our core list to ensure that we always have the most relevant reports in use. ADvantage Partners will have opportunities to present new reports to the POD as a way for leadership to seek input and gain buy-in to the process by welcoming new ideas in a continuous improvement process.
The final version of our document will be a “Flipbook” that is Easy and Convenient to use. The Flipbook approach will allow for ease of use and maintenance by the ADvantage Partners along with ease of sharing the document with our Great Local Brand Category Teams, other internal partners, and our ADvantage Vendor Partners.
