explained to the senior management
Explanation:
What I am quite sure of is that 四役 refers to the top 4 positions in the management, which I suggest to translate as "senior management". I assume 四役説明 here means 四役に説明 instead of 四役が説明; it sounds like a necessary process to get an approval from the senior management. Moreover, it is not likely that 4 people take turn in explaining the 取り組み.

Here is an explanation of 三役.
