Introduction

[edit]

The wikipedia editors suggest that the introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Maybe it could use an introduction that avoids any technical terms and would be understandable by a lay person. How about something like this:

Introduction to ICC's:

Large organizations are usually sub-divided into a number of functional areas such as marketing, sales, distribution, finance, human resources to name just a few. These functional groups are sometimes referred to as "silos" or "stopepipes". An ICC is a team of people with special skills and a mission to accomplish something that requires the separate functional areas to work together. While the ICC may be a temporary team focused on a specific project, it is generally used to describe a permanent group that is responsible for maintaining repeatable methods for creating and sustaining integrated solutions that cut across traditional organizational silos.

Seeing no objections after a few weeks, I made some edits to the introduction. Hopefully this version will be more understandable to the general viewer.
