When it came to standards and models empowered a larger group to maximize their subject matter expertise
No need to change current system or documentation level for initial phase; future changes in hands of content owners
Deep understanding of technology , risks, objective, and strategy
Deep understanding of best practices and tactics
Deep understanding of content and individual unit missions
