Powered by Milkshakes, Burgers, and Fries - ACS Origins, Part 3
“That level of big thinking required serious fuel—so we met for milkshakes, burgers, and fries. There, on the back of a napkin, we sketched out our 5-year plan. It spoke to technologies and customers and vehicles. But more importantly it codified our commitment to operate differently—keeping values and culture at the center of all we were planning.” -Mandy. ACS Origins, Part 4 explains how the first ACS strategic plan was crafted at a Cheeburger Cheeburger.
Matchmaking and Partnership - ACS Origins, Part 2

But every balloon needs a tether – the person to keep the ideas grounded and achievable. The ‘where the rubber meets the road person’. That’s me.” – Mandy. Part 2 of the ACS Origin Story talks about the matchmaking behind how this “balloon and tether” ultimately came together.
