Unit II  PowerPoint Presentation:  10 Slides

You have been asked to create a PowerPoint presentation on a training method for executives at an organization you currently work for or an organization you wish to work for in the future. Research a training method of your choice to complete this presentation.

Below are the methods covered in this unit; you may select one from this list or a different method that interests you:

· Learning organizations,

· Adult learning,

· Evidence-based learning, or

· Method of your choice.

In your PowerPoint presentation, include the following points:

· Explanation of the training method;

· How your organization can implement it;

· The benefits of this method;

· The potential barriers to this method and how you can overcome them;

· How you will present this information (in a traditional format, computer-based, e-learning model, or a combination), an explanation of that method, and the reasons why; and

· Any additional information you feel may be helpful.

Your presentation must be at least 10 slides in length, not including the title and reference slides. You are required to use at least one outside source and to utilize the notes section. Within the notes section, include additional explanations. As you write your presentation, keep in mind that you are presenting for executives at your organization. All sources used, including the required readings, must be cited and referenced according to APA guidelines.

This DB has three parts.

1. When making a decision it is human nature to make assumptions. Understanding the assumptions along with the consequences should those assumptions be incorrect is important.  A best practice when making a decision is to make a list of any assumptions that exist.  Discuss a decision you have made in the past in your professional life that was based on assumptions that proved to be incorrect.  What were the consequences and how did you handle the resulting situation?
2. There are many different decision making models available such as: the rational model; the seven step model; and the Carnegie model to name a few.  What are the pros and cons of managers using decision making models?
3. What factors should be taken into consideration when collecting data for a strategic decision?

For the first phase of your project, you will need to define your project.  The primary element for this milestone is the drafting of a Concept Statement. The concept statement will include the following information;

• Describe the type of operation in relation to common food service concepts
• Identify the target market
  • identify type of cuisine
  • identify location
  • identify competition
  • explain/support decisions to serve that cuisine in that location
• Determine permits that may be needed and their costs
• Determine design professionals and contractors you will seek to hire and justify
• Highlight key menu items
• Discuss how pricing will be established
• List the days and hours of operation or explain any variation from the traditional model
• Determine approximate number of employees; total and by job role
• Determine the capacity (number of seats) and justify your decision based on expected seat turnover rates
• Indicate whether there will be a bar (and its capacity) and explain decision
• Describe the mode of service
• Discuss planned production approaches (cook to order, scratch versus convenience foods)
• Determine if baking will be performed on-site and assess needs if so
• Indicate how soiled dishes and utensils will be handled (cleared by servers; self-bussing, etc.)

DO NOT outline the concept statement by the above elements.  Draft a document you would use to present to investors or partners that includes the above information.

Writing Guidelines

• Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.
• Length of paper: Actual length will be based on assessing what information is necessary and what is extraneous.  You will need to determine what you need to communicate without adding “fluff” and assuring all identified elements from the instructions are addressed where and when applicable.
