Skip to minute 7:53 to hear Scott discuss how the commercial model has evolved:

"You need a really good revenue growth strategy, and how you're clearly going to allocate resources against the corporate strategy and bring each one of those commercial levers to life. And the group stopped us pretty quickly and said, 'First, you have to have a clear corporate strategy.' We go to companies all the time that have what they call a corporate strategy, and it's not that there isn't one at all, just it's not at a granular level where it's actionable... it doesn't really feed into the revenue growth strategy and then cascade into the revenue growth execution plan. And when that happens, you have clarity at the top."
