Create a well$-$thought$-$out and professional write$-$up as if you are a third$-$party advisor to Chris Peterson. Late Thursday afternoon, Chris Peterson was reflecting on the meeting she would have tomorrow

with her boss, Meg Cooke. The purpose of the meeting was to give Meg an update on the status of the

integrated budget and planning system her team had been working on over the last six months and

plans for the team to begin marketing this system and other new DSS consulting services to clients.

Overall, Chris was quite pleased with the work her team had done. The team had been formed as part

of a strategic change, including a somewhat controversial re$-$organization at DSS$.$ The changes and

new structure had created dissatisfaction and a fair amount of anxiety among many of DSS$\text{'}$s

consultants, but Chris felt her team had overcome their concerns to become a very effective group.

They had worked together well, avoided the conflicts that often plague these kinds of teams, and

generally maintained a high level of motivation and satisfaction. Most of all, Chris was proud of the

work her team had done. They had created a budget and planning system that the team believed

would be embraced by DSS$\text{'}$s clients. The team had not gotten much support from other groups at

DSS in developing the system, so team members had done much of the technical work on their own

that would have normally been done by support people in the company. Despite this, Chris was very

pleased with the system and looked forward to sharing her team's accomplishments with Meg.
