20 Scenarios

Hey 

I need this in 8 hour MAX 

This is for a speaking class. The assignment is to give 20 scenarios that will require a short speech of some sorts for a specific job.

In this case the job is Business Operations Manager. Business operations managers are the go-to men or women in a business. They help various departments within a company coordinate to meet the end goal. Every business needs them, large or small, regardless of industry. Their job includes hiring people, negotiating contracts, addressing budget matters, understanding general business operations and guiding work teams for projects. They also make strategic decisions about what customers are likely to buy and create company policies that help the staff operate efficiently. Duties vary widely and depend on the company’s needs. “Operations really is the heart of most companies, because the operations department actually gets the job that the company needs to get done, done,” says Eric Schaudt, manager of operations programs, material planning and analysis at Northrop Grumman.
