INDIVIDUAL STRATEGY TOPIC PRESENTATION
You will be asked to present on a strategy or strategy-related topic of your
choice. The objectives of this assignment: 1) To enlighten and inform the
class on a specific topic. 2) To make the presentation engaging. 3) To time
your presentation well.
1)
You will need to both inform us, so select a topic that will relate well
to this audience. How useful will the information be to us? Can you
provide us with concrete and practical examples? How will you help us to
remember the key points of your talk?
2)
Since you will be giving the presentation (another of many) after
everyone has likely had a full day at work, you will need to engage us.
What will you do to grab our attention and then hold our attention? What
tools can you use to make the presentation more dynamic, unique or
interesting? Please be imaginative. If you come up with creative, even
unorthodox ideas, it is then always easier to dress them down and “go
conservative“ if you find your audience is not open to unconventional form
of delivery, but it is nearly impossible to improvisationally jazz-up a
standard, uninspiring presentation.
3)
You should control the time it takes you to deliver your presentation.
I am open to negotiations on the time that you need, but once we agree on
the time, you need to observe that limitation. I would suggest selecting one
or two areas where you can either add or cut your material, based on your
remaining time, and have some one give you time cues (halfway through or
1 minute left…) Any interactive parts of your presentation, audience
participation or questions are not counted in your scheduled time.
