MPM701 Business Process Management

Presentation Assessment
Trimester 1, 2015
Due: As stated in the following brief
Marks: 10% of Unit Assessment

Objectives

To demonstrate your understanding of Topics 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the unit and your

translation of these into your written assignment.

You will prepare a team presentation based on your written assignment the
preliminary business report.

To develop your communication skills

Employers require employees who can communicate clearly with others. The BPM
discipline absolutely demands it too. In this assessment you will develop your ability
to communicate orally in a one-to-many situation in a presentation to peers.

Task: Team Presentation on Preliminary Business Report (10 marks)

Prepare and deliver a 10-15 minute team presentation on your written assignment. The presentation
is to take the form of a competitive sales pitch to Keith and his executive team. Your team
presentation must be supported by a set of PowerPoint slides. Each member of the team presents
for approximately 5 minutes.

On campus students: Team presentations will take place in Weeks 8-10 of the trimester within the
weekly seminars and assessment will be received immediately following presentations. Presentation
times will be organised with your seminar facilitator.

Off campus students: You will prepare your team presentations in an audio recorded PowerPoint
presentation and then one team representative will upload the finished PowerPoint presentation
file.
Everybody is individually assessed in this process.
To this end you will need to ensure that when you begin your component of the presentation in the
recorded slide show that you clearly announce your name. For example, My name is Ranjit and I
am presenting the next 5 slides. If two, or all of you share the same first names then of course, state
your last names too! If you share first names and last names, then state your names and your
student numbers.

It is also imperative that each team member is clearly named on the first slide (introductory slide)
of your presentation, along with student numbers respectively, for example,
Clint Eastwood:

Student ID: 12345678

Tom Cruise:

Student ID: 98765432

Cameron Diaz:

Student ID: 65498712

If you do not do this, you cannot be assessed.

Also include your group/team number on the first slide (i.e. the same team number that you
registered earlier in the trimester).
Off campus student team representatives will need to upload team presentations to the Presentation
Drop Box by no later than 11th May, 2015. Please let the off campus facilitator know if you have
difficulty meeting this timeframe. This will enable the assessment of your presentations in time
before the exam but will give you enough time to coordinate the completion of your presentation
with your team members following the submission of your written assignment. The off campus
presentation submission time is located in the centre of the On Campus, three week presentation
time frame.

Details
The presentation must be based on your teams written report submission. You should prepare the
presentation with a view that your audience is the management team at
Technobuild Pty Ltd, the firm that is the subject of the written assignment, which includes the CEO,
Keith Toms.
Some presentation considerations:

Your team presentation does not need to follow any particular format however, it is always
good form to properly introduce yourself and your presentation (or component of the
presentation), overview your main presentation areas, then move through your presentation
systematically and conclude with (again) a brief overview of that which you have presented,
thanking your audience and offering a brief question time.
You will probably use somewhere between 5 -15 slides
Provide some background/context in your introduction
Define BPM and its importance to strategic success
Present and describe your analysis, solution and its justification
Briefly overview your recommendations
What are the next steps, following the implementation of your recommendations; is there a
recommended next phase?

Even though this is only a short presentation:

address the audience respectfully/professionally

do not read from slides or from supporting paper material (use small flash cards if you need to)
if on campus, dont hide behind the desk or computer monitor at the front of the room
rehearse the presentation beforehand so that it is presented in a coherent, engaging, smoothflowing and professional manner
team members must share the actual execution of the presentation (around 5 minutes each)
We do not intend to conduct or assess presentations in Week 11 because this is revision week for
MPM701.
