Assessment, Evaluation, and Recommendation

    November 3, 2024

evaluate opportunities for that organization to add economic, social, and environmental value.
Recommend an opportunity that best capitalizes on the organization’s valuable, rare, and hard-to-imitate resources, is least impacted by the organization’s weaknesses, and will take best advantage of the external environment.
Create a PowerPoint presentation to present your assessment, evaluation, and recommendation. Include the following sections in your presentation:
A cover slide
An agenda
A description of the organization (1 slide with speaker’s notes).
A summary of the strengths and weakness of the organization (2 slides with speaker’s notes)
Key aspects of your assessment of the external environment that present opportunities for adding value, such as trends, unmet needs, unsolved problems, under-served consumer groups, etc. (2-3 slides with speaker’s notes)
An evaluation of opportunities to add economic value (1 slide with speaker’s notes)
An evaluation of opportunities to add social value (1 slide with speaker’s notes)
An evaluation of opportunities to add environmental value (1 slide with speaker’s notes).
Note: Some opportunities may appear on more than 1 slide. For example, you may find an opportunity that adds economic, social, and environmental value.
A recommended opportunity to pursue first, with a rationale that shows how the opportunity capitalizes on the organization’s valuable, rare, and hard-to-imitate resources, is not much impacted by the organization’s weaknesses, and takes advantage of the external environment (1 slide, with speaker’s notes)

Feedback on this existing assignment
Your slides are too bare. Per instructions, use images/graphics. When using graphics, for ADA compliance, use alternate text (right click=> edit alt text) and explain in the speakers’ notes. Try regenerating text-based graphics.
All slides: Per the instructions: use speakers’ notes to fully explain and expand on what is on the slide. Put short bullet points on the slides and explain fully in the speakers’ notes. Put citations in the speakers’ notes. Speakers’ notes need to fully explain every point on the slide.
This is particularly important since you (the author/expert) are not there to explain why every bullet point is on the slide and why it matters. The presentation is a communications tool and needs to stand on its own without the reader needing to make assumptions. The reader may be familiar with the company, but they are not the expert.
Expand your speakers’ notes by including a short paragraph supporting each bullet point that not only explains “what” but also explains “why” this matters.
