You got 15 minutes? To convince people of the value of EDI? Forget PowerPoint - tell them to get their pencils and paper ready, then ask them to: Estimate the time it takes to open an envelope, key in 100 orders each with 100 line items, prepare an e-mail listing the 10 items that are not in-stock, print out an invoice and mail it, receive a cheque and go to the bank to deposit it. Then ask them to multiply that number by the number of your trading partners. After an appropriate interval, discuss the responses. Then write on the blackboard how long it takes your EDI system to do the same and sit down. - Paul

The presentation challenge is later this week. The goals are: Create exitement while explaining how this small piece of IT (3 person team EDI of 37 IT members) adds value to the organization Give an overview of EDI for the newbies while not boreing the experienced Educate others on how EDI is here to say and has unlimited potential It will be part of an all day IT offsite (15 min. in the late afternoon) so I need to have something dynamic, simple and intriging--may need to wake some people up and certainly don't want them to fall asleep. I am also trying to recruit for potential succession planning opportunities and create excitement in the TeamEDI world. Does any one have any suggestions on how best to make this type of presentation? --any powerpoint that depicts EDI activity in a fun, enlightening manner? I was hoping to find some automation to use and put our story at the front and back of the presentation. I look forward to your suggestions and tips.
