Summary
The detailed description of your innovation project should provide enough information to propose the project to a client or a source of funding entity. The technology, operational environment and competitive value of the solutions should be addressed. All of the areas covered in Part 1 should be re-visited in more detail. The idea here is to compel the reader to embrace the solution. The detailed description should not exceed ten double spaced, pages, using no larger than the Times New Roman, 12-point font.
A bullet form summary of Part 2 with illustrations and annotations or voice over explanations as appropriate.
The presentation should summarize the detailed description of the project. Assume that your audience has already read the detailed description document from Part 2. Cover each of the required sections from Part 2 in a new chart. Each chart should summarize of those sections using bullet points. Each chart should contain talking points annotations and/or narrations.
The presentation should contain a title page chart, only enough charts to cover the required sections from Part 2 , and a conclusion chart. The idea is to convey a vision of your innovation project that would need to be followed at some point in time with a project plan if you are successful in getting approval for the project.
