I guess "communication" is a vague term. Clarification questions - Who

So, managing interdependence can be accomplished by using IM's intent

Does anyone know the similarities/differences of MBO vs IM's intent
structures?

So, a separate set of objectives for each link? This sort of shades in
with Dave Birren's recent comments.
