I don’t know why they just don’t concentrate on what they do, and leave operations to us.  Compose an email that summarizes the potential benefits of holding joint planning meetings with Marketing and Finance.

Identify six potential risks, including risks related to the problems described in the previous paragraph. Include negative and positive risks. 2. Plot the six risks on a probability/impact matrix.
