Guiding Principles
- Embrace risk: We need to leverage the application of risk-based approaches to achieve results and help distinguish between competing priorities.
- Reject the norm: We will not be encumbered by business practices, policies, procedures, or acquisitions that do not align with the end state we are driving toward.
- Be transparent and collaborative: We will be honest brokers of our trade and strive for buy-in through inclusivity and knowledge exchange.
- Know our stakeholders: The Lab is a complex environment. Having a firm grasp of stakeholders’ values, interests, and needs is critical in order to appropriately balance requirements and customer needs.
- Promote redundancy and scalability: Make decisions that create redundancy and scalability to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, evolving environments or changing requirements.
