Write a 1-page executive summary and a brief statement that I can present in 60 seconds include the following elements below. Due at 3:00 pm on Jan 21

  1. A 1-Page Executive Summary
  2. 60 second rapid-fire in-person pitch (without digital presentation / slides, presented on 2/11)

Be prepared to give your 60 second pitch of your pain point during class
The Pain Presentation is your first major assignment. The pain presentation is a persuasive presentation in which you must pitch your “customer pain point” to the class. Much like a professional pitch to a client or management team your goal is to:

  1. Clearly describe the problem
  2. Demonstrate your depth of understanding
  3. Tell a compelling story about the opportunity involved with solving this customer pain point.

You have artistic license to structure your presentation in the way you feel is most persuasive; however, your executive summary should include the following elements:

Describe your pain

  • In 140 characters what is the pain that you are solving?
  • What are the different elements of this pain point?
  • Why does this problem exist? What are the causes?
  • How strong is the pain? Why do you think so? 

Describe your Customer

  • Customer Characteristics/profile
  • Number of individuals with this problem?
  • Identify Current Solutions
  • How are customers currently solving this problem?
  • Why are these solutions falling short?

Present your Solution Vision 

  • What types of solutions do you think might solve this problem?
  • Why do you feel like you (and your classmates) could make meaningful progress towards a solution this semester?

Tell a Story about Impact

  • For the customer
  • Financially
  • Socially
  • Environmentally
