n chapters 10, 13, and 14, you learned the elements of developing business presentations. This term presentation requires that you identify an urgent need in your company or department. Create a formal multi-media presentation to present to your boss or company owner, sharing about the need, the reasons why you think this should have immediate attention and your recommended solutions. You have flexibility in choosing an area/topic with which you are familiar. Some examples could be the need for hiring more sales representatives, purchasing more computers, adding tuition reimbursements to the employee benefit plan or any topic that you are knowledgeable about. Here are some recommended guidelines:
– Choose your topic carefully
– Develop an outline
– Think about the audience to whom you will be presenting
– Determine your desired outcome
– Remember that you may need to inform before you persuade
– How can you add interest to this presentation?
– What information do you need to gather?
– How will you support your points to convince your boss?
– What resources can you use? Document any outside resources used on your last slide.
– A minimum of 8 slides, a maximum of 12 (not including title or references)
This must be your original work. Do not copy and paste any parts of your presentation from other sources, unless in quotation marks and cited. Failure to do so will result in a violation of the BC honesty policy. Keep in mind you can use PowerPoint or you can pick another tool!
