Business challenge overview

1. Business challenge overview

Now it's time to put everything you've learned into practice by taking the business challenge. Before you get started, let's remind ourselves of Thomas's challenge. Over the last three decades, On The Rise partner owners Thomas Omar and Seroga Malone have seen their company grow from a small family business to a global bakery chain. The days of casual on site family meetings are gone, replaced by those of a formal leadership team operating from many countries around the world. Each member of the team is full of great ideas and has the experience and expertise to implement them. Yet, with so many differing individual priorities, Thomas wants to make sure he can narrow the projects down to the critical few and keep his team productive and focused on the bakery's overall strategic objectives. Thomas has asked for your help. He wants to set up recurring leadership team meetings using Google Calendar. He also wants to create a common calendar so he and other team members can track key dates for the strategic On The Rise projects. In the following activity, you will help Thomas and the On The Rise team solve their business challenge using Google Calendar. Good luck.
