Group Project 2: Presentation on Enterprise System and Enterprise Architecture Considerations Assignment
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to research, evaluate, and explain enterprise systems, and to communicate effectively at the executive level. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:
· analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment
· analyze enterprise system solutions to make recommendations based on benefits, limitations, and best fit within the enterprise environment
· analyze and explain the elements of a successful plan for implementing enterprise solutions, addressing structure, processes, culture, and other considerations
· analyze considerations for enabling enterprise architecture
Assignment
Your instructor has assigned each group one of several types of enterprise systems (ERP, SCM, CRM, etc.) to research and prepare an executive-level informational presentation. Your instructor has provided you with instructions on locating case studies. Your group should have completed Group Project 1 and each team member should have completed the individual project memo identifying seven criteria for successful implementation of enterprise systems.
As you saw in Group Project 1, the chief information officer (CIO) of your organization has heard about enterprise systems and believes that they could solve many of the problems in your organization. He has asked your team to do some research and prepare an analysis and recommendations about these types of systems. Your team has been assigned one of several types of enterprise systems (ERP, SCM, CRM, or others) to research and prepare an informational presentation for the CIO. The purpose is to help him understand the type of enterprise system (assigned to your team), to understand how other organizations have implemented such systems, and lessons learned from the implementations. Finally, your team is to present the considerations that the CIO should think about—both positive and negative aspects—prior to suggesting that the organization consider implementing one of these systems.
For Group Project 1, your team analyzed the case studies and assessed the success of the enterprise system implementations. Then, for your individual project, you researched, identified and explained in a memo to the CIO what makes for a successful implementation of these types of enterprise systems. Your group will use the information gathered and developed for those assignments to prepare the presentation described below.
Group Project 2
Develop an executive-level PowerPoint presentation that uses the organizations in your case studies as examples to provide an analysis and recommendation to your CIO. Your presentation should include:
1. A brief summary of each organization that includes the following:
· the business the organization is in
· the problem the organization was trying to solve
· whether the enterprise system implementation was a success or not in terms of cost, schedule, performance, and quality
·
.
· Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources. Any direct quotes should be indicated within the slide text with appropriate quotation marks and an in-text citation (however, direct quotes should be short and used sparingly, if at all). Complete references for sources should be included in the corresponding Notes section. Paraphrased material can just be referenced within the Notes section of the slides without an in-text citation on the slide. This deviates from APA style but keeps the slides more readable. Note: Do not include your resources on a separate slide in the presentation. They need to be included in the notes section of the slide to which they pertain.
IV. Additional Instructions
· Each slide should have a title and a limited amount of text. The presentation should capture key bullet points and not include complete paragraphs and detailed text.
· Content on your Slides should be double-spaced
· Use bullet points – 6-8 words per line; 4-7 lines per slide; Font – preferably Arial, Verdana or Calibri (sans serif) size 18
· Your presentation format should be professional and use a professional theme to make it interesting in appearance to keep your audience’s attention
· Stay with the same theme of graphics throughout your presentation. For example use all clip art, all photograph, etc.
· Proofread and Spellcheck (including what you write in the Notes section)!
· Read your Notes out loud to yourself to see that the presentation flows well from start to finish and that the words you read correspond to and complement what is shown on the slide without just repeating it
· Use the Grading Rubric below to be sure you have covered everything.
· Submit your presentation via the Group Assignment Folder as a Microsoft PowerPoint document (or a presentation format that can be read using PowerPoint) with your group name first in the filename.
Individual Assessment of Group Member Participation
At the conclusion of Group Project 2, each team member will rate the overall group participation of each of the team members, but not himself or herself. These ratings will be based on the person’s participation in the group project, using the instructions provided in the individual assignment, Group Project 2 Participation Assessment. The report will be submitted via the (individual) Assignments Folder as either a Word or Excel file and is due on the date Group Project 2 is due.
Grading Rubric for Group Project 2
The group project will be graded based on the rubric below. The instructor will determine whether all members of a group will receive the same grade, or will have their grades influenced by the group members' ratings of their individual participation.
