   About the Strategy team:
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  The Strategic Leadership Office team is a fulcrum team that plays a pivotal role in shaping and realizing the strategic goals of the organization. Its focus is on identifying and executing programs, that are core to the organization&rsquo;s leadership and can create a material shift in the organization&rsquo;s performance over a one to three year horizon. The team works closely with CXOs to identify white spaces along growth, profitability and business excellence and then collaborates with functional leaders to translate the agenda to actions. Finally, the team owns and closely monitors the business impact of actions. In sum, the SLO team experience helps our associates think and act like CXOs to prepare them for future leadership roles.
