Why Work Cross-System?
Broad-based ownership of the need and its solution Convening mechanism/forum for exploring common
interests and agendas Broad view of system assets Cost effective delivery of certain functions/support Integration of efforts – avoids duplication Leverage Potentially smarter, faster, stronger responses to
need… Better outcomes for customers (young adults/families) Better outcomes for service providers
