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 5×5: no more than 5 bullets per slide, no more than 5 words per bullet)
o Audience should be listening to you, not reading your slides
o 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
o 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.
