PART 1
Imagine that you are the newly hired CFO for a start-up company that is just beginning to grow. In your role, you must help educate the original leadership staff on the importance of good financial practices because they are from a different industry (software).
As a part of your new role, you are examining several new software products that the company may choose to begin development on to hopefully launch. The rest of the leadership group is focused on product specifications, but you are also examining the risk of new product launches. The company was successful with its first product, so they are unsure about why you are evaluating risk. Create a short presentation for the rest of the group that discusses why risk should be evaluated as a part of overall financial planning.
Requirements

Professional appearance including theme and at least two images/graphics
Non-technical explanation of how risk is evaluated, quantified, and integrated into a financial plan
