Business Plan Presentation

Week 10 Assignment – Final Business Plan Presentation

Overview

Business plans provide the information funding sources need to determine whether or not they will invest in your business. For your final assignment, you will prepare a slide presentation with speaker’s notes such as you would use if presenting in person to the funding decision maker you identified in your Obtaining Start-Up Funds assignment. In your presentation, you will need to convince your funding source to provide the funds that your business needs. Your presentation will expand on the outline you created in the Week 4 homework, incorporate the feedback from each of the previous assignments, and include an executive summary, an exit strategy, and speaker notes, plus title and sources slides.

Instructions

Address the following in your presentation:

1. Include speaker notes to accompany each slide that emphasize and expand on the key points to the stakeholders. Please be clear and thorough as if you were presenting to the investor in person.
2. Create a one- or two-slide executive summary that is an at-a-glance overview of your business plan as a whole. It should touch on your company profile and goals, as well as each of the heading topics in your outline, including the business model, target market, and funding.
   • Tip: Create your executive summary after you finish building the presentation.
3. Create one- or two-slides that expand on each of the topic headings that you provided in your outline from the Week 4 homework activity, Business Plan Outline.
4. For the Business Model slide, incorporate the feedback you received from the assignment, Business Models, to describe your selected business model, and explain why you chose it.
5. For the Target Market Segment slide, incorporate the feedback you received from the assignment, Target Market Segment, to describe your selected primary and secondary target markets, and explain why you chose them.
6. For the Start-Up Funds slide, incorporate the feedback you received from the assignment, Obtaining Start-Up Funds, to identify your funding sources, why you chose them, and the sources you decided not to pursue and why.
7. Create a one-slide Exit Strategy slide where you discuss two key factors you would consider when planning an exit strategy. Provide an explanation to support your reasoning.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

• Include a title slide containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The title slide is not included in the required number of slides.
• Provide a source slide. The source slide does not count in the required number of slides.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Develop a complete business plan that includes an executive summary and exit strategy.

Part of your role as an educator will be to work alongside colleagues to assess resources and to determine whether these resources deepen educators’ understandings of cultural, ethnic, gender, and learning differences, build stronger relationships, and create more relevant learning experiences for students.

Imagine that your principal has come to you and stated that the district is interested in hosting a professional development workshop for educators to help them broaden their cultural competence, improve family-teacher relationships, and enhance educational experiences for all students. The district proposes using the information from “The Angry Eye” for the workshop.

Create a 6-8 slide digital presentation for the professional development workshop including “The Angry Eye.”

The website for “The Angry Eye” is as follows.

PowerPoint must Include the following:

• Explanation of “The Angry Eye” or the reputable alternative video, and its main claims.
• Explanation of how the information presented in “The Angry Eye” or the alternative video could be used to help teachers broaden their cultural competence, build stronger relationships, and create more relevant educational experiences.
• Explanation of key terminology, including privilege, power, difference, and oppression.
• At least three additional resources for teachers with an explanation of how each will deepen their understanding of cultural, ethnic, gender, and learning differences, build stronger relationships, or create more relevant learning experiences.
• Title, slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

All Required steps and files are here! Thank you!

Instructions

1

Start PowerPoint. Download and open the file named Exp19_PPT_Ch04_HOEAssessment_Photograph.pptx. Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename.

2

Click Slide 1 and change the subtitle Student Name to Carl Peterson.

3

Although SmartArt conveniently groups all shapes together within a SmartArt graphic, you want to work with the shapes in this graphic individually. You can use the Convert to Shapes command to help you do this.

Convert the SmartArt on Slide 3 to shapes and ungroup the shapes. Remove the two-headed arrow at the base of the rectangles.

4

Now that this is no longer a SmartArt graphic, you can format each shape individually to display three differently colored rectangles.

Change the fill color of the Closeups rectangle to Blue-Gray, Accent 1, Lighter 40%. Change the Landscapes rectangle to Blue-Gray, Accent 1, Darker 25%. Ensure that the Animals rectangle is set to Blue-Gray, Accent 1.

5

By default, two guides display onscreen that intersect in the middle of the slide. You can add more guides to help align objects away from the center of the slide and to break the slide into even spaced horizontal and vertical thirds.

Click Slide 4 and display the Rulers and Guides. Move the vertical guide to the right until 2.25 displays. Right-click the vertical guide and click Add Vertical Guide. Drag the new vertical guide to the left of 0 until 2.25 displays. Move the horizontal guide up until 1.25 displays. Right-click the horizontal guide and click Add Horizontal Guide. Drag the new horizontal guide down below 0 to 1.25.

6

Now that the slide is broken into thirds, you can place the images according to the Rules of Thirds design placement principle. This produces an overall balanced look to the slide. Guides can easily be removed from the slide after using them for placement.

Drag the barn picture so that the bottom edge of the picture is aligned with the lower guideline and the left edge is positioned at the 0.5” mark on the ruler. Drag the moon picture so that the bottom edge of the picture is aligned with the lower guideline and using the Smart Guides ensure the images are evenly spaced. Deselect the Guides check box.

7

PowerPoint provides gridlines which are more numerous to allow for refined placement of objects. You use these to place the smaller objects – the ribbons.

Drag the Old Barn ribbon so that the left edge is positioned along the gridline that is set 2” to the right of the 0” on the horizontal ruler. The bottom edge should be positioned along the gridline that is set 3” below the 0” on the vertical ruler. Drag the Full Moon ribbon so that the left edge is positioned along the gridline that is set 5” to the left of the 0” on the horizontal ruler. The bottom edge should be positioned along the gridline that is set 3” below the 0” on the vertical ruler.

8

You can use the Selection Pane to help control the stacking order of objects on a slide or to display or delete objects and images.

Click Slide 5 and open the Selection Pane. Hide Heart 6, Heart 7, and Heart 8. Delete the flower and shell pictures. Display Heart 6, Heart 7, and Heart 8. Bring the violin picture to the front.

9

The three remaining shapes are not yet grouped so you can use the automatically appearing Smart Guides to help you position each of the shapes. Once they are in the correct position, you can group the objects so they won’t slip out of alignment with each other.

Align middle the three shapes. Drag Heart 8 next to the text box. Drag Heart 7 to the right edge of the slide. Position Heart 6 evenly between Hearts 7 and 8. Group the three shapes. Close the Selection Pane.

10

You want to add a few more examples of your photography to your presentation. You decide a cute dog will evoke emotion in your audience, so you add a new slide and title.

Insert a new Slide 6 with Title and Content layout. Type Beautiful animals in the title placeholder.

11

To make the image of the dog more impactful, you modify the image size and remove the image background to make the dog really stands out on the slide.

Insert Photo1.jpg in the right content placeholder. Size the picture to a height of 6” and a width of 9”. Position it horizontally at 5.87” from Top Left Corner and vertically 0.75” from the Top Left Corner. Remove the background but ensure both ears are kept and that the dog’s body extends down to match the title placeholder’s bottom edge.

12

Insert a new Slide 7 with Title and Content layout. Type Abstract florals in the title placeholder.

13

After adding another new slide and title, you insert a floral image. While the flowers are pretty, you want to show how a familiar object can take on an entirely new look by formatting the image. Then you compress all the images to reduce the overall file size of the presentation.

Insert Photo2.jpg in the right content placeholder. Deselect Lock aspect ratio and size the picture to a height of 5.8” and a width of 8.4”. Position it horizontally at 4.3” from Top Left Corner and vertically 0.84”from the Top Left Corner. Set the color Tone to Temperature: 4700K and Corrections to Brightness: 0% (Normal) Contrast -20%. Apply the Cutout artistic effect. Compress all pictures in the presentation using the On-screen (150 ppi) setting.

14

As another example of your photographic skill and creativity, you use a landscape image as a background for a slide.

Click Slide 8 and add Photo3.jpg as the background. Adjust transparency to 50%.

15

After adjusting the transparency of the image, you show how a small amount of text can be used to create a slide that conveys a breath-taking message.

Size the width of the text box on Slide 8 to 13.33” and align it center and bottom. Set the fill to Black, Background 1, Lighter 5%. Change the font to White, Text 1.

16

Convert the SmartArt on Slide 9 to shapes. Ungroup all bulleted shapes, rectangles, and arrows.

17

By adding animation, you can show what happens when a client hires you to do photographic work for them. You start with the client’s role in the process to show that this is a customer-driven process.

Select the first bulleted shape and apply the Fade animation. Set it to start After Previous with a Duration of 01.00 and Delay of 00.50. Use the Animation Painter to format all remaining shapes, rectangles, and bullets.

18

You continue to use animation to reveal your role in the process and the expected outcome.

Use the Animation Pane to make Shape 5 (first arrow) display after the first bulleted shape and blue rectangle. Make Arrow Circular 8 (second arrow) display after the second bulleted shape and blue rectangle. Close the Animation Pane.

19

A Morph transition can be used to illustrate how photographs can bring you joy and preserve memories. You begin with slide showing an image of the earth and a woman’s outstretched hand.

Duplicate Slide 10. In the new Slide 11, replace the title with Bring the world to you

20

Adding a Morph transition makes a seamless and entertaining way to make your point.

Position the earth image horizontally at 8.05” from Top Left Corner and vertically at 3.71” from Top Left Corner. Apply Morph transition for Slide 11. Set the Duration to 03.00 and set it to advance after 00:02.00.

21

You add a trigger to the title of the slide so that an image of a woman displays as the center of the daisy. Her smile and hand gestures indicate she is a happy customer and that your audience will be equally pleased with your photographs.

Apply the Fade animation to the client picture on Slide 2. Set a trigger On Click of for Title 17.

22

Because you will show this presentation to several different audiences, you may not always want to present the slides sequentially. You can add a Summary Zoom slide to quickly move between different sections in the presentation based on that audience’s needs.

Create a Summary Zoom using Slides 1 and 8. Type Nature’s Beauty in the title placeholder of the new Slide
