Follow the content and formatting directions below: • Your presentation must have a Title Page slide. • Each slide after the title page must have a heading, and use fonts between 12-14 pt. • For each of the risk categories, you may use no more than 2 slides. • Following the title page, the next slide must be an Executive Summary. The summary should present a high-level (bulleted) synopsis of the slides that follow including the potential impact on Salesforce.com from the risks being addressed and the goals for the proposedmitigations. • The first slide for each risk category must provide a synopsis of risks. In this slide, you will present a high-level overview (using bullets or tables, or graphs, or other illustration, not dense text) of the risk factors and their potential impact. • The second slide for each risk category must present your recommendation for mitigation (using bullets or a table). Focus on: what you are recommending, and why you are recommending it. • The final slide of your presentation must be a References Page to support your findings and recommendations. • As with Assignment 1, you are being asked to present a series of recommendations, not just regurgitate information that the Board already knows. Your presentation should provide the Board with new insights on risk mitigation approaches. • Note: Additional material and talking points may be included in the “Notes” sections of your PowerPoint. If you include additional materials, keep these brief and to thepoint.
