03. An Email I sent at work in Dec 2013...

Dear ABC,

This is Kalin from the Japanese Marketing team. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for building the GIE (Global Integrated Enterprise) Community on Facebook. It is helpful for us to know more about the global GIE information further.

I have a couple of questions about the GIE and it would be highly appreciated if I could get your support [suggest - input].

1. We've noticed that in addition to Finance, Supply Chain and IT, Marketing Transformation PoV has been released recently as well. These PoVs explain the detailed enterprise transformations in many kinds of functions. [technical expertise/specialised language ?]
Japan has also been doing the GIE transformation project, but not in an integrated way, for example, A and B are doing their own GIE respectively. Thus we're considering an integrated GIE plan to be implemented in 2014 and want to know if the global GIE team has the a similar GIE 2014 plan? Actually if the plan for 2014 is not ready, 2013 works for us as well, so that we could make the next year's GIE plan based on it.

2. I tried to read the materials posted in the GIE Community on Facebook as much as I can could, but there are is so much of it, so could you please suggest the most important (or basic?) ones, which can help me make the integrated GIE plan run smoothly?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Kalin
