Overall Strategy
Structure The structural growth of the
organizational chart is patterned after that of
the Catholic Church youth cells.
Starting with the Core Group, Home Resources
expands its organization to accommodate large
projects. Each Core Team forms smaller
Specialized Teams for a particular field.
Similar to the Core Group, Specialized Teams
communicate and work together with other Teams to
complete a project. Also just like in the Core
Group, a person may belong to more than one
Specialized Team. Core Group members are
considered the managers of Specialized Teams.

  as long as Team responsibilities are accomplished
  satisfactorily.
