Assessment Instructions
Note: In this assessment, you will develop a presentation to stakeholders for the strategic plan you developed in Assessment 2.
Preparation
Your strategic plan has been reviewed, and you have been asked to present your plan—including operational recommendations and strategic control mechanisms—at a strategic visioning session with key stakeholders (senior leaders if your plan is organization-wide, community leaders if your plan is for a community health project, or the nurse manager of a specific department or team). This session is the next step in moving your plan toward implementation.
Your deliverable for this assessment is a slide deck of 10–20 slides to supplement your presentation and facilitate discussion of your plan. You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or any other suitable presentation software. Please use the notes section of each slide to develop your talking points and reference your sources, as appropriate.
If you choose to use PowerPoint and need help designing your presentation, a link to Microsoft tutorials is provided in the Supplemental Resources in the left-hand navigation pane of your FlexPath courseroom. An additional PowerPoint guide is linked in the Resources.
Presentation Design Tips
Being able to effectively address any audience is a necessary leadership skill. Remember that you are the speaker, not a projectionist. Your purpose is not to present a slide show. Your audience is there to listen to what you have to say, not read your slides—or worse, listen to you read them. Design your presentation slides to compliment and reinforce your message and engage your listeners.
The following tips will help you create presentation slides that work to your advantage:
Focus on the content of your presentation and the development of your main points. Remember that your purpose is to garner support for your plan and build partnerships for implementation.
Consider your intended audience and how best to communicate effectively with them.
Create slides that support your presentation. They should not be your presentation.
Use a professional presentation template, or one used in your organization.
Ensure that your slide background provides sufficient visual contrast for your text and graphics.
Avoid filling your slides with text. Use speaker notes to record the details you want to communicate to your audience.
Be judicious in your use of bulleted lists. You might even consider a separate slide for each main point.
Use images and graphics, when appropriate, to illustrate information and make your points. Presentation slides are a visual medium. Images are more effective than text at engaging your audience.
Avoid using images that are simply decorative. They can be a visual distraction and do not contribute to your message.
Avoid using flashy slide transitions and animations. They can be both distracting and annoying. Keep your slide transitions consistent throughout the presentation.
Add a slide to the end of your presentation to prompt questions from the audience.
