New Planning Team Members

As a member of Harley-Davidson’s strategic planning team, you have been asked to create a five- to six-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation titled “Harley-Davidson Today: A Brief Overview of the Business” to orient members who have been newly added to the strategic planning team.

The PowerPoint presentation should include at a minimum the following:

• The CEO’s vision and overview of 2009 performance
• The organizational structure and management team
• A brief description of each of the brands/business units and the products and services offered
• Key corporate goals and objectives such as new products, new markets, and new customers
• Total Revenues in 2009 and Net Profit in 2009

Must be in APA format

 

Step 1

Choose a template consistent with the theme of your report (no distracting graphics or background). Have a professional a cover slide, title page slides and content slides where you can place your bulleted lists of information.

Step 2

Summarize each section of your report on each title page slide of the presentation. Show graphics as well as text.

Have detailed speaker’s notes where anyone can give your presentation.

Step 3

Summarize the details of each section of your report using bullet points on each content slide. PowerPoint requires brief concise bullet points. Focus on the most important details and expand on the information later when you perform your presentation.
