Presentation Instructions

As a requirement for working with a Capella learner team, your client committed to attending a Web-based presentation during Week 9. If you have not already scheduled this session, please do so. Ideally, all team members will participate in the online presentation; in the event a team member cannot be available for the presentation, the team member must contact the instructor to discuss alternatives.

You are expected to record your client presentation using the client’s web conferencing platform or Zoom. Audio recording should be enabled for all participants, including the client. If you are unable to record your presentation, contact the instructor to discuss alternatives.

Your presentation should be engaging, professional, clear, well organized, and focused solely on your client's needs and interests. In your PowerPoint-based presentation, you should (at a minimum):

Introduce all team members involved with the project.

(Team may want to coordinate the delivery of updated team member bios to the client.)

Restate the client’s needs/objectives for the project.

Briefly summarize the process you followed to arrive at your recommendation.

Explain the proposed solution/recommendation in detail, with key justification points.

Review the alternatives you considered, and explain why they did not make the final cut.

Describe significant legal, ethical, policy, societal or global implications of the proposal.

Include a period for questions and follow-up requests from the client.

A 10–15-minute presentation with a 10–15-minute question-and-answer period is ideal.

Provide detailed information in the Notes section on your PowerPoint slides, including in-text citations for your resources.

After the presentation, debrief with your team members and document the team's observations regarding the presentation. Consider and document:

How the presentation went, overall.

General impressions of how the client received the presentation.

Any follow up information or items you will provide to the client.
