Presenting the Case

Here's the setup for the case presentations.  Note when your team is presenting and its responsiblities.

Note that the "topics" for each team's presentation are different from the analysis that was prepared for the case-briefs.  That's because "live" decision-making is different from reviewing written submissions.

Each presenter should budget about five minutes for their part in the process.  Save a little time for Q&A. 

Pay close attention to the "Techniques and Methods."  You can assume that your audience (the firm's Board of Directors and Senior Management) has received and reviewed your case-brief. 

Your challenge is to identify and communicate the "essential" points of your topic.  There probably won't be more than three or four of them.  How will you present those points so they're clearly understood? 

Doing that will require organizing your presentation so it's got an opening that gets everyone's attention, some analysis and support for its key points and a summary that leaves no doubt about what your audience should know and remember when you're finished.
