The BUSI 494 Week 7 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Decide what the audience should know or do at the end, and outline the talk around that. The slides come last.
One idea per slide
Give each slide a headline that states its point and keep the text short. The detail belongs in what you say or in the speaker notes.
Put the evidence where it is used
Meet the source requirement (The text and peer-reviewed sources, number varies by assignment) with citations on the slides themselves, plus a final references slide in current APA.
Write speaker notes or a script
Write notes for each slide in full sentences. They keep the recording on time and give the grader the reasoning the slides only point to.
Rehearse to the time limit
Record a practice run and time it. Cut slides rather than speeding up; a rushed recording hides the points you worked on.
Check the technical requirements
Before submitting, check the slide count and timing (Varies by assignment; follow the instructions in Canvas), that audio plays, and that the link or file opens for someone else.
A structure for BUSI 494 Week 7 Group Assurance of Learning Exercise 3
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,300 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| The issue | One slide: the strategic question for the board. | ~180 words |
| Analysis | The environment and the organization's position. | ~310 words |
| Alternatives | The options considered. | ~260 words |
| Recommendation | The choice and its rationale. | ~230 words |
| Plan and the ask | Steps, costs, measures and the decision needed. | ~310 words |
A topic angle that works
Boards want a decision, not a lecture. Open with the question you are asking them to decide, keep the analysis short, and end with the specific approval you need (capital, a partnership, a closure), its cost and the measures you will report.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
We ask the board to approve a $4.2 million investment over two years to convert the third floor into an outpatient surgery suite with partnered surgeons.1 We will report case volume, margin per case and surgeon satisfaction quarterly; if volume is not above 2,000 cases by the end of year two, we will return with an exit plan.2
