Prepare an Executive Briefing that:
• Clearly identifies and describes the problem area or process that needs to be improved
• Briefly describes the technology solution (showing major components)
• Addresses how the solution you propose could support and enhance the UR UMUC Healthy Fitness Center, explaining the benefits of the solution, and
• Addresses the considerations you determined to be most important in Stage 3.

Remember that this presentation is to be designed as an oral presentation to the Fitness Center owner and should not be designed to stand on its own, viewing just the slides, by a reader. Each slide should have a title and a limited number of short bullet points. A presentation should use key bullet points to highlight key factors, (or what you want the audience to remember) and not include complete paragraphs and/or detailed text. The bullet points in your presentation will be supported by relevant details in the Notes section of the slides, which is what you would say to support the slide. Presentations with limited or no “Notes” will receive much lower grades, because the bullets should not tell the whole story.

While use of external resources is not required, your presentation may be strengthened by incorporating research. Remember to correctly cite and reference any sources. Any direct quotes should be indicated within the slide text with appropriate quotation marks and an in-text citation (however direct quotes should be short and used sparingly, if at all). Complete references for all sources should be included in the corresponding Notes section. Paraphrased material can just be referenced within the Notes section of the slides without an in-text citation on the slide. This deviates from APA style but keeps the slides more readable.

General Guidelines: Your presentation format should be professional and use frames, illustrations, color and/or style to make it interesting in appearance to keep your audience’s attention. Use bullet points – 6-8 words per line; 4-7 lines per slide; Font – suggest Arial, Verdana or Calibri (sans serif) size 24; use Design templates built into PowerPoint. Use graphics sparingly but to emphasize key points and add interest. Proofread and Spellcheck (including notes information)!
