I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Is it asking about the first step in the overall strategy, or just the learning plan? I'll need to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand.

I'm just picturing the TD professional trying to figure this out and then suddenly realizing they forgot to factor in the mandatory company-wide trust fall session. Rookie mistake!
