So we just had our midterm in ITEC 610, and it was a really interesting concept: we had to take our research papers and create an executive presentation. Pretty cool idea, and it was surprisingly difficult (see the summary slide above). Did I learn something? Absolutely:
- Brevity is difficult when discussing the contents of a 20+ page paper
- Brevity is critical when presenting information to executives and leaders
- One should never, ever overdo a presentation. At some point, animation is lame
- Cramming empirical data into easy-to-understand charts is, in a word, frustrating
- Globalization and the role that IT and communication played in its facilitation is a topic far better served by a lecture series, 100-page presentation, and several follow-up debates.
