Topic: Panel review of Think Big response. Panel Consensus: The panel unanimously agrees that the candidate's story illustrated tactical, incremental fixes rather than bold, visionary 'Think Big' leadership suitable for a GM role, lacking transformative hypotheses, systems-scale thinking, and proactive portfolio strategies. They converge on specifics like siloed efforts, missing trade-offs, and failure to scale customer feedback into major outcomes.
