In this presentation you are expected to provide a business plan/project management document to define the project idea and an overview of costs. Your business plan/project presentation to the CEO of the business and the board of directors should include the following elements:1. necessary assumptions and justifications about the business; 2. a summary of solutions and strategies on expanding the ICT unit to meet the problem at hand; 3. an initial estimated cost and resource structure with appropriate justifications to meet the organisational needs within the scope of the problem; 4. a schedule (Gantt chart) with key project aspects such as milestones, slack, etc to indicate how long will it take to deploy the project; 5. cost-benefit analysis, incorporating: a. Return on Investment, with brief interpretations for nontechnical board member; and b. A Payback Analysis Scenario, with brief interpretations for non-technical board members; 6. Outline the plan of tactics and strategies as to how the project can be managed; and 7. a set of recommendations for the consideration of the CEO and the board such that they may be able to make the final decision regarding the future/implementation of this project.You are only allowed to have 16 slides including everything (marker will only mark the first 16 slides only). You can apply logical assumptions with brief justifications as to the coverage of content you are going to present as long as you achieve the intent of the presentation. In addition to the main slides, you must also provide limited slide notes (maximum 100 words/slide) so that the markers can understand your view point and why such a presentation is developed. There is no need for any references for this component. However, we recommend that you maintain a reference list of sources used in your research as it will help in the next submission. The presentation can contain animation and other presentation ‘bells and whistles’, but remember it is professional presentation, so it should be tailored for the Senior Management/Board of a company. Please note that the file size is restricted to 10 MB.
