Relationship

A defined link between two entities or organisations, such as a contact belonging to a client, a task belonging to a project, or one firm acting for another.

Relationships answer the question how is it connected? Between organisations, a governed relationship is the basis for sharing information and capabilities without exposing either side’s internal systems.

Example

ABC Limited is related to its directors, to its outstanding requests and to the practice as a client; that client relationship determines what ABC’s guests may see.
