How does your company's purpose affect "back office" teams (accounting, legal, etc.)? Your back office teams should define and maintain your company's purpose and find ways to share it with the rest of the company. Back office teams should find ways to make sure accounting processes, legal forms, etc. are focused on the needs of your customers. Back office teams should be aware of your company's purpose but will not be affected by it directly. Back office teams should audit customer-facing teams to ensure the company's purpose is being fulfilled
