A New Model for Working Together

Some Guiding Concepts
Transformation is an evolving, phased process, with occasional big leaps. Quick wins early and often are essential.
Cost savings and cost avoidance are strategic.
Focus on implementation and action vs. more study.
Continuous vetting happens throughout the process and at all levels to keep all informed; communication plans are key.
Draw members from existing ACGs and other groups, and leverage local experts for system-wide benefit.
Continuously assess, revise, and adjust the NGTS implementation framework.
