Fewer customizations means stability and nimbleness to innovate: Transformation will happen the more we can standardize. Campuses will be responsible for their own IZ but the network zone must be protected. (from pre-mortem review) Coordinator-level chairs meeting: Define the problem statement and the desired outcome for the meeting.
