Create a 10-20 slide
presentation with recorded audio that demonstrates how you would present and
deliver your capstone project to your intended audience. Your presentation
should be persuasive, use visual and graphical elements, and demonstrate
professional speaking and presentation techniques.
Often in a business
environment you will be asked to give a presentation of your knowledge,
research, or plan to a group of stakeholders. In this assessment, you will
present your capstone project. Imagine that your audience is a leader in the
organization or industry that you chose, that they have not read your paper,
and that you need to present the highlights to them in less than 10 minutes.
This presentation should contain all of the main elements found in your paper
and incorporate appropriate charts or graphics, as well as cite academic and
business resources appropriately.

Uploading Process
You may upload your presentation in any of the following ways:
Using Kaltura Media. (Refer to the MBA Program Resources for a Kaltura tutorial.) As a file in ePortfolio; share the link with faculty.
A PowerPoint file with your recorded audio presentation. For this option, give yourself extra time to upload the PowerPoint, since large files may take more time to complete the uploading process. The link to your presentation that you uploaded to your YouTube channel.
Whichever option you choose, be sure to indicate what it is in the submission box faculty know what type of file or link they are looking for.
Note: It is up to you to ensure that faculty can access your presentation. Dead links or failed technology may result in your receiving no credit for this assessment; thus, it is recommended that you test your link and recording on a computer that is not logged into the Capella system to ensure that it works properly before submission. You should allow sufficient time to test and troubleshoot issues.
