We will be open and transparent in our communications in order to ensure the benefits of change are understood and to develop change champions inside and outside the agency who can focus the agency on the future benefits  Committed –The Agency leaders are committed to the transformation, as demonstrated by a focus on understanding and actively managing resource needs and expectations.  Statutory Boundaries –We are working within the current legal statutory framework and are not actively trying to change that framework, however, we will identify and evaluate opportunities if our progress, or chances of meeting our long term goals, are limited by the statutory framework  Organizational Capacity –We will plan and implement the transformation at a pace that is aggressive, while proactively recognizing and addressing, organizational limitations Guiding Principles – How we will work
