'''Some other shorthand ''dos '' and ''don’ts '' to keep in mind:'''
'''DO'''
So here’s the challenge. Create and share a strategic story that advances your solution (aka the project you’ve been working on).
You are out there designing solutions for problems and gaps you’ve witnessed at your university. Your '''goal''' should be a specific action that you need institution stakeholders to take to move forward with your project solution. Your '''target audience''' is the institution stakeholders you’ve previously identified for the stakeholder meeting who , whom you need to advance your project. You will be putting your strategic storytelling into practice during your '''stakeholder meeting'''.
'''1. Use the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c-VOnJMwwnZ_qtROjyjxHjdw-gfsiyg8/view?usp=sharing Workbook] to create your story''' and identify the specific goal and target audience of the [https://universityinnovation.org/wiki/2022:Training/Stakeholder_Meeting stakeholder meeting]. (While we’ve already requested that university VPs/Stakeholders be your audience, think about how you might get even more specific about who you want in the room).
'''2. We would like you to weave Weave some data into your storytelling'''. Figure out what data may help move your idea forward and where you can find relevant statistics. Consult the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Amk6KJRzq18dbJjKwLBVKSK2eS-daKjR/view?usp=sharing Weaving Data and Emotional Storytelling] page of the workbook for guidance.
'''3. Create an Artifact.''' Decide what medium would best support your storytelling. You can use any of the media below to bring your strategic story to life through an artifact.
:*'Video' (Must be 2-3 minutes)
:*'Infographic' (Please create visuals for 3 or more pieces of information)
'''4. Prototype your Strategic Story and artifact with a test audience.''' Ideally this would be your uiguide or someone who knows the Stakeholder group well. Be sure to prepare a few key questions to gather their feedback following your demo. These could include:
''What resonated most? What resonated least? ''''How would you summarize what my/our story was about? ''''Did the problem we are trying to solve feel clear? What might have helped you understand the problem better?''''Did our solution feel clear? What might have made our solution more interesting for you? ''
'''5. Incorporate feedback from your prototyping session into your story and artifact.''' Play around, experiment, and iterate to refine what you have to say and show! HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT!
'''6. Create the final version of your strategic story and artifact, and hold your stakeholder meeting.''' See deliverable 2 below for more details.
Make sure that whatever you create is accessible. Please consider adding closed captioning (an option when you upload your video to YouTube) for any of your viewers who may have difficulty hearing. If you are creating infographics or graphics as part of your presentation slideshow, please include [https://www.perkinselearning.org/technology/blog/how-write-alt-text-and-image-descriptions-visually-impaired image descriptions] in the captions.
For this assignment, after you hold your meeting, we would like you to create and share a report of your first stakeholder meeting. This should contain:
:*A one-page account of the meeting, including an overview of the presentation and any feedback you received.
:*The artifact you created to complement your strategic story. If your artifact was a slideshow make sure you share a recording of you presenting the slideshow.
:*Any other items from the meeting (an agenda, photos from the meeting, an attendance list, etc)
:*You should email the report to the stakeholders who attended your meeting as well as to those who were unable to attend. CC the UIF team (team@universityinnovation.org); this will lend further credibility to your efforts and demonstrate your connection to program leaders. We love supporting your network-building efforts and learn a lot about your ecosystem by checking out your awesome report.
