In the previous step, your team completed the white paper and executive summary. Your team must now create the asynchronous presentation that captures the primary argument and supporting facts of your paper.

Asynchronous Presentations

An asynchronous presentation is a prerecorded presentation
for a specific audience to whom you would ideally present in person or
online in real time, but cannot for practical reasons. While MS
PowerPoint is considered the default presentation tool for
presentations, you may consider using other presentation platforms or
tools. Be sure the tool supports prerecorded narration. Dedicate enough
time to the narrated presentation to get the timing for transitions
right, and ensure that the sound is clear and the narration at the right
volume. A good asynchronous presentation shares most of the same traits
as a good live presentation. Your presentation should not be your
academic paper cut into text-filled slides. Rather, consider how you
might identify themes to discuss that are supported by pertinent facts
from your paper. You are giving a talk to an audience, so your narrative
should provide most of your ideas and argumentation. Be sure the themes
either flow or transition appropriately from slide to slide. Use images
and data visualization (tables, charts, or graphs, for example) where
possible.

The presentation should be engaging and should convey

• a synopsis of the issues of the case,
• your team’s analysis of the connection between leadership and outcomes,
• any unexpected discoveries in this case, and
• proposals to mitigate challenges and your team’s rationale for such recommendations.
