on change issues.

Issues:
- Insuring continuous alignment and coordination of activities in this
large, high-impact project requires total commitment and support from the
Institute.
- The transition from Discovery to Delivery for this project requires time,
alignment, identity, and patience. Everyone would like to move forward
quickly, but a lot of details need attention.
Key learnings
- Getting through the transition from recommending what we want to do to
actually getting that work underway is difficult.
Team dynamics:
- Team's work is complete; a celebration and de-briefing is in order and
will be scheduled.
