Lionsberg Integrated Delivery System Starting Point

As a simple and pragmatic recommendation for beginning to engage in the Lionsberg Integrated Delivery System, there five simple principles:

1. The Meta Goal: We are All here in service of ONE highest overarching and uniting Meta Goal.

2. Federation: Every Conscious Agent should federate with other Agents, and with Lionsberg as a Whole. This includes forging or joining at least one Small Group, which acts as an Integrated Program Delivery Team (IPD Team).

3. The Network of Commitments: Every Agent should make and keep Commitments to other Agents, and secure and validate Commitments from other Agents.

4. Aligning Commitments: Agents should endeavor to align Commitments with the Critical Chain to create Throughput of the Goal.

5. The Planning System: Even if it is merely through informal conversation to begin, Agents should endeavor to understand:

   1. The Milestones that mark the Way towards The Goal
   2. How their efforts align with and relate to the Critical Path / Critical Chain towards the next Milestone
   3. What other Agents or Activities they depend upon (Predecessors), and what other Agents or Activities depend upon them (Successors)

   Lastly, Agents should transparently Track Commitments in a way that is visible to the Whole, with an emphasis on the Handoff Points between teams.

It is the recommendation of the Receiver that at the outset, and perhaps forever, rather than making Individual Commitments, Individuals should federate into IPD Teams / Small Groups of 3 to 20 people, and Commitments at the Program level should be made, kept, and tracked between Groups rather than Individuals.

This will ensure that the weight of the Critical Chain never weighs upon any one Individual, and will help ensure there are no Single Points of Failure in the System.
