REQUIREMENTS
A five- to seven-minute (+/- 30 seconds) presentation of your analytical report recommendation using visual aids (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.). I need to see YOU as well as your visual aid.
Your audience for the presentation is your boss’s boss and other top executives in your firm.
Extemporaneous delivery required (do not read your presentation).
Normally, you’d be graded on your ability to answer questions after the presentation, but that won’t be available of course with recordings.
Please save your recording in an mp4 or mov format or something else that would be easy for me to open on a PC. Sadly, that means if you have a mac laptop you will need to convert the file so something more recognizable. If you have questions about whether your file will work, email me.
