Final Project Assignment Instructions 200 Points

 

 

 

 

Scenario: You are the assistant to the CEO of Persuade Café. As the assistant you have been asked to

 

 

 

create a presentation based on Surveys, other presentations, and videos about the café.

 

 

Part I: Storyboard and Preparation

 

 

 

 

 Prepare Presentation Planning Documents‐ prepare a storyboard for your presentation and

 

 

 

plan for the delivery of your presentation

 

 

 

 Deliver an oral presentation with PowerPoint as support‐ You will post your completed

 

 

 

presentation in Blackboard for the rest of the class.

 

 

Part II: Prepare for your Presentation

 

 

 

You have been asked to prepare a presentation on the Persuade Café. This presentation is described

 

below.

 

 

Develop an oral presentation with PowerPoint as support to the executive team

 

(Hint: You might want to record narration on the slides)

 

 

 

You might approach this presentation as follows:

 

 

 

ï‚· Gather evidence to support your recommendation. For example, you might reference

 

 

 

examples from the customer survey results to define and present your understanding of a

 

particular issue. And you might cite external evidence from academic research and business

 

journals to explain trends. You could show how your recommendation has worked in other

 

businesses by describing your own experience in a credible way or by interviewing business

 

leaders who have faced similar challenges in similar businesses.

 

 

 

ï‚· Explain your idea clearly. For Persuade Café executives to understand your

 

 

 

recommendation, how can you describe your plan? Can you help executives visualize your

 

proposal in some tangible way?

 

 

 

ï‚· Describe how your recommendation meets the program criteria. Executives may be more

 

 

 

likely to accept your ideas if you explicitly map your recommendation to the criteria outlined

 

in Jacqueline Marcus’s presentation (i.e., ROI, feasibility, and manageable

 

obstacles/challenges)

 

 

 

ï‚· Acknowledge potential costs or downsides. To be most credible—and to address the third

 

 

 

criterion—you will want to acknowledge the financial or other costs of implementing your

 

recommendation.

 

 

 

ï‚· Organize your presentation to emphasize main points. Think about how to structure your

 

 

 

presentation. Using the direct order of communication, how will you ensure that your main

 

point is upfront and your supporting arguments are sequenced logically?

 

 

 

ï‚· Prepare a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation. What visuals will support your oral

 

 

 

presentation? Consider text, graphics, and charts that will reinforce your main points and

 

make your ideas easier to understand. (If you use Prezi then please provide a link to the

 

presentation and share it with the instructor and other classmates)

ï‚· Prepare to address questions. You’ll handle questions better if you prepare for them. What

 

 

 

questions do you think executives will have about your recommendation? Brainstorm a list

 

of possible questions and practice answering them.
