...of the case and multiple points of view. Multiple Readings of the Case If you attempt to analyze a case by pulling an “all-nighter” (waiting until the last minute, spend hours poring over the case and going line by line looking for insights) you will be overwhelmed. You should plan for multiple readings of the case over several days, complemented by group meetings and discussion. Multiple Points of View Even if you are preparing to write an individual brief, you should plan to discuss a case with a study group. You’ll notice that in business the major consulting firms always assign a team of people to each client, not just their single best industry expert. The reason for this is that no one person is likely to comprehend all the problems a firm faces. No two individuals are likely to have the same insights, but the combined wisdom of a team is likely to come up with a fairly comprehensive analysis. First Reading of the Case You should read the case first on your own—if you meet with your study group and open the case book and say, “OK, what’s this about?” there is every likelihood that your team will degenerate into “group think” (one person comes up with a plausible solution and everyone else concurs in a false consensus without challenging either the analysis or solution). In your first reading, read through the whole case quickly and try to get some sense of the following: 1. How is this industry organized (e.g. fragmented, a few dominant players; strong buyer power or...

...Health Promotion Group Presentation Student Name: Institution Lecturer Paper Code Date A myriad of women have limited if no access to prenatal because they lack insurance. Consequently there are so many women get pregnant each year without health insurance and therefore leading to inadequate/low prenatal care. Some insurance companies have also categorized pregnancy as pre-existing condition. The cost of paying for the services is very high leaving a number of women at limbo; forcing them to risk facing the challenges accompanied. Therefore the excitement of being pregnant disappears due to the worry which is associated with the financial constrain. (Pender & Pender 1996) As the saying goes in a number of cultures ‘It is the role of the whole community to take care both the unborn and born human beings’ it is a fact that the society has a role to play. During the promotion of the heath program, there will be a video coverage that will be done on the effects of poor prenatal care and other simpler and affordable mechanisms to health the insured and underinsured women. In the coverage, the pictures of the community members will be used in the coverage. At the same time those who will be doing the coverage will be individuals derived from the local setting. The adoption of this method will make people appreciate and own the program. It will appeal to them since they will feel as if it is theirs. (Pender & Pender 1996) The promotional fliers will be distributed...

...Speaking in front of a group takes steps the speaker needs to do to prepare the presentation. Audience analysis is one way a speaker can prepare the presentation’s effectiveness. The speaker must explore the different characteristics of the target audience. In the case of a quarterly sales meeting, the audience includes managers, salespeople, and customers. The speaker breaks down the audience characteristics and what demographics make up the analysis. This would include professional and nonprofessional. The speaker must also consider what channel of communication to use at the presentation to ensure meeting the expectations of the audience. This channel can be formal or informal. Formal communication is organized and managed. The information is shared with relevant people within the organization. Informal communication is used within the organization and not used with informational meetings outside the organization. Audience Characteristics The speaker must make sure every member of the audience can understand his or her presentation. The speaker can do this by having a clear understanding of the unique needs of the audience. The speaker must know of any similarities and differences in the audience. Stakeholders First consider who the stakeholders are. In the case of a quarterly sales meeting, the stakeholders are managers, salespeople, and customers. This is a combination of professionals and nonprofessionals. The presentation covers both viewpoints...

...Presentation Reflection The following essay will highlight details relating to my presentation of 04 July 2016. I was part of a four-person group randomly selected to provide the class with group findings of what makes an effective team. Initially the task was planned as a group with specific roles allocated with the consensus of all of the team involved. The subject chosen and allocated to myself centred on key areas of large team successes and the fact smaller teams collaborate to achieve a common goal. I felt comfortable with the subject matter and also assisted in helping my fellow team members with aspects relating to their particular segment of presentation. The preparation and research I conducted consisted of visiting the Liverpool Museum and obtaining handouts and factual representations of the recent European Space Agency mission undertaken by Major Tim Peake. This mission planned for the Major to stay six months at the International Space Station. It was decided amongst our group we would create a PowerPoint presentation to assist. We utilised the skill-set of one of our colleagues who was adept at graphic design and I agreed the structure of presentation and roles associated. Additionally, I arranged with my colleagues to meet on the morning of the presentation. However, not everyone attended and this threw doubt into my mind that our presentation could be successful. A further hastily arranged meeting was set up prior to the presentation, I...
