EXACTLY. I don't know why this is such a difficult point to get across.
It's because you are aware of the consequences. Creative marketing types are often not aware of anything beyond the brand idea itself and what's for lunch. It's just a matter of education.

But, of course, the proof is seen in the doing. Network managers having to deal with extra help desk loads caused by someone else's problem isn't an ironed out situation.

Sometimes these visible conflicts make a better end result if the conflicts are ironed out to everyone's satisfaction early.
