The document discusses the importance of collaboration, especially in the current economic climate. It notes that determining the right course of action can be difficult. The first step of collaboration is figuring out what is and isn't working through communication, such as annual department meetings and bi-monthly meetings with governance groups. Success comes from delivering projects on time, under budget, and satisfying users, while failure occurs when projects are late, over budget, and don't meet user needs. The document urges building on past successes through continued collaboration.
