Purpose” is all about the team’s alignment with business vision, mission & objectives and how these support longer strategic priorities.
This means that an effective team is: clear about its ambition and how this plan has been translated into effective delivery; has a shared understanding of context issues (internal and external) that inform and continue to influence such plans; is able to work within the structure that defines both roles as well as work processes; and is always paying attention to key performance drivers and indicators.
