“You have to work together as a team to paint a picture of a business plan in our minds,” said Plummer. “The teams are a mixed group of people with different skill sets that collaborate and talk about the left brain creative side of the business plan, while considering the nuts and bolts, like cost. The key thing they learn is the integration of these factors.”
