Stakeholder Meeting

Paper details
Draft an announcement and agenda for a meeting with stakeholders to present the key aspects of a plan to
adopt the new or upgraded telehealth technology proposed in the previous assessment. Then, develop and
record a 10–15-slide audiovisual presentation. Test your recording hardware to ensure that it is working

technology to obtain their support and ensure effective use of the technology. One method of
communicating with stakeholders is to introduce them to the technology in a department meeting. In this

Assessment Instructions
Preparation
You have completed your assessment of the need for a new or upgraded telehealth technology and
presented your findings and recommendations to executive leaders. Their response to your assessment
was positive, and they have asked that you introduce the proposed technology to other key stakeholders.
Consequently, you have decided to host a stakeholders’ meeting to promote support and buy in for the new
technology. Several people will be unable to attend the meeting, so you have decided to provide thoseindividuals with a video recording of your presentation.
To prepare for the assessment, you are encouraged to think about how you can generate wider stakeholder
interest and support within your organization or practice setting for the acquisition of the new or upgraded
telehealth technology currently under consideration, based on the results of your needs assessment.
Consider who is most likely to have the greatest influence on key project success and who might be a good
choice to champion the project. In addition, you may want to begin thinking about how you will approach
the design of your presentation slides.
In addition, you may wish to:
Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be
asked to complete.
Review the Guiding Questions: Stakeholder Meeting document, which includes questions to consider and
additional guidance on how to successfully complete the assessment.
Note: Remember that you can submit allor a portion ofyour draft presentation to Smarthinking Tutoring for
feedbackbefore you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be
mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.
Audiovisual Equipment Setup and Testing
Because you will make a video recording of your presentation, it is a good idea to check that your recording
hardware and software is working properly and that you are familiar with its use.You may use Kaltura
Mediaor other technology of your choice for your video recording.

Presentation Design Tips
Being able to effectively address any audience is a necessary leadership skill. Remember that you are the
speaker, not a projectionist. Your purpose is not to present a slide show. Your audience is there to listen to
what you have to say, not read your slides—or worse, listen to you read them. Design your presentation
slides to compliment and reinforce your message and engage your listeners.
The following tips will help you create presentation slides that work to your advantage:
• Use a professional presentation template, or one used in your organization.
• Ensure that your slide background provides sufficient visual contrast for your text and graphics.
• Consider your intended audience and how best to communicate effectively with them.
• Focus on the content of your presentation and the development of your key points. Remember that your
purpose is to garner support for your change proposal.
• Create slides that augment your presentation. They should not be your presentation.
Remember that presentation slides are a visual medium. Images are more effective than text at engaginyour audience.
Be judicious in your use of bulleted lists. You might even consider a separate slide for some of your key
points.
• Use speaker notes to record the details you want to communicate to your audience.
Speaker notes can also serve as an audio recording script.
• Use images and graphics, when the visual representation of information facilitates understanding or
effectively reinforces key points.
Avoid using images that are simply decorative. They can be a visual distraction and do not contribute to
your message.
• Avoid using flashy slide transitions and animations. They can be both distracting and annoying. Keep your
slide transitions consistent throughout the presentation.
• Add a slide to the end of your presentation to prompt questions from the audience.
• Proofread your slides to minimize errors that could distract the audience and make it more difficult to
focus on the substance of your presentation.
Submission Reminders
• Have you explained, clearly, how the technology will support departmental or organizational
effectiveness?
• Have you described the advantages of the system, including key aspects of safety and quality?
• Have you adequately addressed the cost to the organization and other relevant financial considerations?
• Have you identified the steps needed to deploy the technology, including a timeline for deployment?
• Have you presented your plan for leading change, including staff training and countering potential
resistance?
• Have you argued persuasively to obtain agreement with, and support for, the new technology?
• Are your claims and conclusions well supported by at least three sources of credible evidence?
• Do you have 10–15 slides that effectively support your presentation, without being your presentation?
• Have you proofread your slides to minimize errors that could distract the audience and make it more
difficult to focus on the substance
