(Little to no bureaucracy) • are schedule driven, not cost constrained. (Metrics) • have common purpose and high morale. (Multi-tasking) • are teams of results-oriented, can-do staff, who check their egos at the door (‘A’ team players) • usually have less reporting requirements. (Time to focus) • are less constrained by procurement rules. (Freedom) • make faster decisions with less information. (Fix on the fly) • document after the objective is achieved. (Paperwork takes a backseat)
