Written Paper (400 points)

Presentation (200 points)

You have a creative space for your presentation. The presentation is meant to showcase your skills in OD and your ability to explain your proposal in a way that convinces your stakeholders to go with your plan for change.  Utilizing an appreciative inquiry along with other strategies we have learned throughout this class is very helpful with persuasive and clear communication.

You are pitching your proposal.  Focus on why it is important to the stakeholders and organization.  Further, pitch from the perspective of What’s In It For Them (WIIFM). Also, keep in mind that everyone listens to the radio station WIIFM.  Keep the focus of the presentation on their needs rather than your proposal.

Requirements

Firstly, create a presentation utilizing Google Slide, Prezi, Powerpoint, Powtoon or software of your choice.

Secondly, presentations should be no longer than 10 slides.

Thirdly, presentations should be between 3 and 6 minutes.

Further, utilize one of the many tools (preferably free) available to you.  Google Chrome has two different free extensions for screen recordings that are free and simple to use.  If you use either of the tools below you can share the link directly from there and not have to upload to a service such as YouTube.
