I want to encourage you to spend some quality time looking at the Capstone project. This is worth 100 points, a major part of the course’s grade. Full instructions and a VERY detailed grading rubric are found in the uploaded files! As you will read, the idea here is to develop and deliver a PowerPoint presentation as if you were leading a Talent Review for a case study company. All sorts of good information you will need on the company and its people are found among the documents listed in the uploaded files. Instructions for what is to be covered and how you should present are covered in the instructions and grading rubric. Please review them carefully, as soon as possible! ***INSTRUCTIONS***: For your capstone project you will perform a Talent Review of a corporate population and prepare 5-10 minute PowerPoint presentation of your review. Project definition slides and data files you will need to complete the required sections below are all provided under Capstone Project Resources further down the page!
