Clarity of purpose
One mechanism to achieve clarity is through our
approach to group management.
► Strategic – purpose is directly aligned with the overall strategy
► Visible – heavily promoted and obvious to users
► Vital – mutual responsibility for long-term success
► Expedient – focus on day-to-day needs and may not persist
► Organic – user initiated and managed
