PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD
Due Week 10, worth 150 points
You’ve done a
tremendous amount of planning, research, and strategizing in your role as the
task force leader. It’s now time to bring it all together. You will create a
presentation in which you synthesize your research and recommenda-tions from
the first three assignments.
As you know,
the ability to create and deliver strong presentations is a critical skill for
all managers, leaders, and employees. You can improve this skill through
practice. In this final assignment, you will have the opportunity to hone your
presentation skills.
