A cross-functional team is a group of people with unique functional expertise who are brought together to reach a common goal. You are part of a cross-functional transition team that is working toward assuming leadership of a criminal justice or security organization in your city or state.

You have been tasked with developing a strategic plan summary. The summary will be included with the overall strategy on how to successfully lead and merge the existing organization with the new management, within the confines of the strategic planning process.
