The deliverables have been simplified but meeting the previous deliverables is still encouraged if you have already started.
Imagine you are a new research analyst on the CEB team tasked with presenting our latest research to the Chief Information Officer of a Fortune 500 company. Your goal is to get the CIO to understand and want to implement ONE of the best practices from our research.
Create a slide deck (less than 10 slides is fine) that conveys the most essential, single principle from our research on speeding up product development (you can also download the report from the bottom of this page). You can decide on the principle that is most compelling (there is no one “right” answer). Please submit your final presentation in PDF format.
BONUSES:
1) Create a video to take us through your presentation, including audio voice over.
2) Take your presentation to the next level by doing supplemental research and adding relevant business examples that illustrate these best practices.
