Week Four Assignment 2 Final Project – Presentation

Instructions

Presentation of your project

The presentation should sell the recommendations of your project.

This individual presentation is to consist of:  (all with speaking notes on each slide)

  1. cover slide,
  2. overview slide,
  3. "define Supply Chain Management" slide,
  4. "define your process"  slide,
  5. 7 main slides on your Assessment Process (one for each step in Figure 13-3)
  6. and a references slide

This presentation format is designed for a 15-minute time slot to your CEO and Board of Directors, so plan accordingly (e.g. 10 minutes of presentation plus 5 minutes of Q&A -- that's only about 1 minute per slide!).

Slides should be professional:

  • Simple background (other than white or black)
  • Effective use of graphics, such as company logos, photos of products, etc.
  • Clean wording: key words only (consider 5x5: no more than 5 bullets per slide, no more than 5 words per bullet)
    • Audience should be listening to you, not reading your slides
    • Exception may be quoted definitions that require the audience's attention
  • Effective use of animation – build slides to keep your audience focused on what you are saying
    • Do NOT mix several types animations or use too extreme options (e.g.  flying, spins, etc.)
  • Legible:  use large enough fonts, colors should be high-contrast for projectors (light text on dark background or dark text on light background)
  • Quantity of slides should match your presentations pace: no faster than 1 minute per slide, a single topic per slide (i.e. not too much)

Optional resources:

  • Answer questions before they are asked!  Article --  Answering questions in a presentation.pdf

  • "Life After Death by PowerPoint," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjcO2ExtHso&feature=youtu.be 

Submit a single PowerPoint presentation (or similar format) that includes speaking notes. DO NOT record this version.
