APPLIED RESEARCH PROJECT PURPOSE: To integrate the learning from all the course units within this course into a professional quality presentation. DESCRIPTION: This is a comprehensive demonstration of learning for the course including a well-researched presentation that incorporates theoretical learning from the course and your own research along with an applied component from a subject organization of your choosing. Think of it as if you were presenting this to a board of directors or your senior management in your organization. As your professor I will be looking at both your communication in the form of the presentation and the background or narrative that demonstrates a foundational understanding of the topics and innovations you recommend. You may feel free to select an idea or concept of your choice. The idea itself is of no consequence to the assignment. The focus is on how you communicate it as a leader in the organization (it doesn’t not necessarily mean you are the top leader, rather you are in a leadership role in presenting this to the decision makers in your organization). The assignment outline consists of four parts: 1. Organizational context description and assessment- “where we are” 2. Ideation of a potential innovation- “what is possible” 3. Organizational communication strategy- “how to share it” 4. Vision statement as the conclusion- “what it can look like” The portfolio may be presented as a PowerPoint, Prezi presentation, or a video production that incorporates content from the course and other Internet-based resources. To accompany this presentation there will also be an abstract of no more than 500 words that you will submit with your presentation and post to the discussion board in unit eight. There must also be a narrative that accompanies the presentation so that the viewer has the opportunity to see the presentation and read the background or narrative behind the message delivered on the slides or screen. You may place this in the notes section of the PowerPoint presentation or as a separate document that notes what narrative goes with each slide It is also expected that a reference list/bibliography in APA format accompany the narrative to credit the intellectual property of the scholars’ work that you employed in your presentation. You must have a minimum of 3 slide per outline content area and no more than 26 slides total. AOS 320- Applied Research Project GRADING RUBRIC: A total of 250 points is available for this assignment.
