The purpose of the Nurse Executive Track Concluding Graduate Experience (CGE) is to prepare the current and emerging leader for an important part of leadership practice: Leading Organizational Change. Through this point in the CGE, your preparation for leading organizational change has focused on planning concepts and tools for practice change, process change, or quality improvement projects. You have explored and practiced the following project management concepts thus far: PICOT Development Project Charter Scope of Work Communication Plan Project Deliverables Critical Success Factors Work Breakdown Structure Gantt Chart If your project was aligned with the timing of the CGE lessons, you would be at the point where the planning phase is complete and it’s time to turn your efforts toward execution or implementation. In reality, it is nearly impossible to align the real-world timing of your project with the timing of the CG courses. You may already be in the execution phase in real life. Or your project may have hit delays or barriers and you’re not yet ready for execution. In real-world projects, the planning you have done to this point would all be done in a matter of several weeks. But now, for course purposes, you will imagine that your project is at this point where the next step is the kickoff event. The kickoff-to-execution presentation is designed to get everyone on the right path while inspiring and motivating them to succeed.

Assignment Overview
This presentation is designed to be given to members of your team and the stakeholders in your project. As such, the following should be considered:·You must recap your project plan, getting everyone in agreement for project, while you motivate and inspire your team and stakeholders. Introduce and give thanks to team members who have worked hard to get the project to the implementation phase. Give comments that help the teams realize that they are important. Discuss each team member’s role in the project. Everyone in the room is important and vital to the project’s success.·All slides must have speaker notes so that someone may step in for you should you not be able to give your presentation. Speaker notes should not be just a repeat of what is on the slides but should provide the detail that may not be included on the slides. Slides should contain bullet points highlighting the “big points” without excessive narrative; your speaker notes then provide this narrative to expound upon what is in the bulleted information. Think of the speaker notes as a script that someone could use to give the presentation in your absence.·A good rule of thumb for preparing the slides is maintaining the 6 x 6 x 6 rule for a professional PowerPoint presentation: no more than six lines per slide, six words per line, and six slides without a graphic. Illustrations of tools that you have developed such as the Gantt chart may be included on your slide but be aware of sizing of the illustration and the viewability of the slide. If an illustration is used, be prepared to describe its contents and applicability to the presentation within the speaker notes.
