Often the sponsor is the champion of the idea which the shop or center is designed to address. The sponsor may also be a manager or executive. Often a sponsor team is assembled made up of representatives from various constituents who comprise the participants in the DesignShop.

An individual, or most commonly a team who champions the purpose, mission and existence of a NavCenter Environmemt. Since NavCenter Systems are established to support a particular project or purpose, the Sponsor may also be the project manager. Because a NavCenter System represents a way of work which radically departs from the behavior of the rest of the organization, the Sponsor should have a position of authority within the organization as well.
