Today’s Meeting Goals/Definition of Success

each priority area

Selected Feedback

• Delta– “…it appears as if we are writing and rewriting values and

priorities a bit in isolation without looping back to the larger context.” – “We are hesitant to discuss tough issues.”

entered the room. We only get one shot at this! Opportunity today to begin pushing each other’s thinking.
