Week 7 FINAL PRESENTATION (Using Microsoft PowerPoint and Web conferencing)
Each consulting team will submit to the CanGo management team a definitive presentation addressing CanGo's notable challenges, the team's recommendations, in priority sequence, with justifications, for how to resolve the challenges at CanGo. The teams will use the weekly video episodes to observe the challenges at CanGo, how the personnel are performing, seeing where there are gaps and/or how their performance as well as that of CanGo's operations can be enhanced.
The following are the specific features of the Week 7 Final Presentation:
• The instructor will announce the date and time for the Final Presentation during Week 1. All teams will present in one session lasting approximately 3 hours in Week 7. Similar to any other Final Examination, it is up to you to be ready to present at the required date and time. Since you will have almost two months to arrange your schedules, you are expected to do what it takes to be available to present with your team and attend the entire session.
• The instructor will provide specific information about the Web Presentation tool.
• The Final Presentation (PowerPoint document) must be attached Document Sharing > Final Reports and Presentations at least 12 hours prior to the scheduled team presentation time.

• Please enter the Web Presentation session at least 10 minutes prior to the start of your final session!
• Each team will have 15 minutes to present the team's Report.
• When your presentation is concluded, other students and the instructor will ask questions about your challenges and conclusions (you may defer a specific question to a teammate who covered that particular element).
