Summary
Principles are general rules and guidelines, intended to be enduring and seldom amended, that inform and support the way in which an organization sets about fulfilling its mission.
In their turn, principles may be just one element in a structured set of ideas that collectively define and guide the organization, from values through to actions and results.
Depending on the organization, principles may be established at any or all of three levels:
- Business
- Information
- Architecture
- Design
- Implementation
