Landscape is at the top and the largest, with a connection between “Organization” and “Market” and a time designation of “years.” Initiative is in the middle, with a connection between ‘product” and “customer” with a time designation of “months.” Execution is at the bottom and the smallest, between “team” and “user” with a time designation of “weeks.”
