I am concerned about how the presentation is going to work, or, more specifically, how I am going to help with the presentation being in Wyoming and all.
I guess I might be jumping the gun since we have some work to do to redesign the actual product (we do have work to redesign the actual product, right?), but I'd like to start thinking about this now. If it comes down to it and it becomes just too clumsy to create a sleek presentation without me there to practice it with everyone, so be it, but I would like to be a part of the presentation.
I wonder which day(s) we'll be presenting in Toronto. Will we have any time to get something semi-sleek before we jet up there and then practice it a bunch (with me) while we're there? Of course, this begs the question: do we really want to spend our time in Toronto practicing a presentation (yes, I realize that statement may reflect poorly on my dedication to all things innovation, but so be it)?
What did we have for steps in this thing again? Were they something like:
1. Redesign what we need to of the product (are we still calling it Better Letter?) conceptually, especially including a place for responses by public officials.
2. Redesign the prototype according to the reconceptuatlization plus make it look a bit snazzier.
3. Re-do the Powerpoint (video too?) to mesh with our redesign and maybe streamline the presentation a bit.
4. Create a handout (how many do we need for Ithaca?) to supplement our presentation and give a lot of the things we previously included in the presentation that we could take out.
5. Practice the presentation full-bore.
Does that sound something like a game plan? Ideas?
