Assignment: Problem solving short report:

Scenario: Overbridge LLC CEO, Pat Overbridge, has asked you to attend a Board of Director's meeting to give an update on the final report research you have done so far. He asked you to give a 7- 10 PowerPoint slide presentation that will address the following:

1. Familiarize the Board with the Problem/Purpose Statements and the research questions that your report will address.

2. Inform the Board of the methods of research used to create the report.

3. Provide the Board with an update on the research findings to date and the sources used.

o Research (at least three secondary sources) on the pros/cons of each benefit program (paid leave and wellness) in the workplace. Please include citations (not just URLs) at the bottom of the slide where you present the research. Note: The final report requires four secondary sources.

o Include at least one original graph demonstrating the results of the primary research. Note: two graphs are required for the final report.

4. Provide a preliminary assessment of opportunities and challenges for each benefit program. Make a preliminary recommendation only if you believe you have completed enough secondary research to date.

5. Specify the next steps (what still needs to be done) and when the final report is expected.

6. Audio portion of the presentation. You have a choice between the following:

a) providing audio in the PowerPoint or uploading a corresponding audio/video file along with the PowerPoint file.

b) writing exactly what you would "say" in the NOTES section of PowerPoint slides as if you were actually presenting your PowerPoint to the Board. Do NOT write exactly what you would say in the PowerPoint slides themselves; instead use the notes section within the PowerPoint software.

Remember, you must present confidently, but accurately. Do not overstate your progress or make unsupported conclusions at this stage of the project.
