The first appears close, and has a blue center running down the middle, vertically. Then it has two thin black colored lines running up the sides of the blue center vertically, then red, orange, and yellow lines running up vertically along the sides of each other, all in that order, appearing to be symmetrical. The second triangle is the exact same way, yet appears a little further back as if it is off in the distance, with the first triangle overlapping the bottom left corner. It is also in the center of the portrait, as the first triangle is on the left side of the portrait. The third triangle is the same in color, and is also off in the distance, further back than the middle. The bottom left corner is overlapped by the middle triangle, as the middle triangles bottom left corner is overlapped by the left triangle.

Finally, Wheelan (2013) highlights effective organizational support for teams, which includes an organization support checklist.
