WE NEED TO CONVERT THE

TAPE ARCHIVE NOW PT.2

 

This Artifact is a demonstration of the flexibility and the adaptability of the deliverables to meet audience requirements of the locale they are displayed. In this case a scientific report was modified to suit a PowerPoint presentation and was shown to a group of company managers in a large meeting room. Once the value and the merit of the presetation was established, the PowerPoint was shared with other company locations and used as a persuasive argument to make the same process work at those affiliates. Tech Comm and Journalism joined forces in this process and the MSTC Outcomes were to than for this process gaining traction.
