Prepare a 10-12 slide presentation that uses storytelling to explain data and make recommendations.
Storytelling is a valuable tool in all aspects of life, whether professional or personal. This is certainly true for human resource management. The best information in the world is meaningless if you are unable to effectively convey it. Storytelling can be used to engage an audience, convey information, and persuade. It can be used to illustrate complex concepts and emotions. In the ever-more significant field of HR, storytelling can positively impact your leadership position.
Note: For this assignment, you will use the executive summary you created for your second assignment, HR Challenge: Data for Decision Making: Measuring Organizational Performance.
Assignment Introduction
Scenario
Evelyn Unger, senior HR generalist at CapraTek, was very pleased with your executive summary on improving productivity and quality. She has now been approached by Denise Dawson, VP of Operations, to head a team to address improving quality through improved performance at CapraTek.

Building on the data you analyzed and the recommendations you made in your executive summary in Assessment 2, HR Challenge: Data for Decision Making – Measuring Organizational Performance and Interpreting Data, you will create a PowerPoint with accompanying verbal (recorded) or written (text).
