The core values, vision and objectives of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) have been revealed at a joint IOC-LOCOG seminar.
LOCOG Chairman Sebastian Coe revealed the core vision "to stage inspirational Games that capture the imagination of young people around the world and leave a lasting legacy."
He said: "We are determined to deliver on that vision and the promise we made to the IOC on 6th July.
"We have made an early and positive start and the next two days will be another boost to forging the partnerships we need on the road ahead."
Lord Coe was speaking on the first day of a two-day seminar jointly hosted by the International Olympic Committee and LOCOG.
The 'Orientation Seminar' is being attended by IOC experts, LOGOC staff and many of the stakeholders and other partners interested in London 2012.
At a joint press conference, both the IOC and LOGOC representatives stressed the need for partnership.
Denis Oswald, Chairman of the IOC Coordination Commission, said: "The IOC has been very impressed with the progress that LOCOG and the UK authorities have made since July 6th.
"There is a real sense of commitment and purpose in the approach being taken and this two-day seminar will help to further strengthen the partnership between the IOC and London 2012.
"It gives the IOC and the London Organising Committee a real opportunity to bring together many of the key players who will be involved over the next seven years and map out the way ahead."
The Rt Hon Tessa Jowell, Olympics Minister, added: "There is no doubt that we have hit the ground running since London was chosen as Host City. We have made good early progress on every front.
"We are taking a phased approach, working in close cooperation with the IOC and all our stakeholders and partners, to ensure that we deliver in the right way, on time and on budget."
