Graded pair presentation

Hello everyone,Yesterday I had my graded pair presentation for the English I course, together with Meryl. For our presentation, we had to choose between three of the case studies we did this year. We could choose between Hazel, Erstaunliche or Audio Wire. We chose to do our presentation about Hazel, because that was the case study we liked most. We were members of the senior management team at Hazel. Based on the SWOT analysis we carried out earlier this year, we were presenting our proposals for a strategic new vision to the new CEO of Hazel and its board of directors.We both think that the presentation went pretty well, we were satisfied with the result, although we were very nervous. Below you can find our Powerpoint Presentation, including our new website, which I think is really nice! Enjoy our Powerpoint Presentation and the rest of your day!Regards, Floor

Hazel

Hello everybody!
Week 47 was another self-study week. Our group was divided into three teams of five persons, and all the teams had to come up with a new strategy for the company Hazel.
First, I will provide you with some background information about the company: Hazel is one of the world's largest direct sellers of cosmetics and beauty products. Hazel now has serious problems, with annual sales growth of less than 1.5%. Therefore, they have appointed a new CEO.
Our task was to devise a new strategic vision for the company during our meeting. During this meeting we developed a SWOT-analysis which gave us important information which we needed for the new strategy. The new strategy includes website redesign with a new logo, face and advertising campaign. We had to present the new strategy in a ten minute powerpoint presentation, which you can find below. Enjoy the powerpoint presentation and the rest of your day! 
Kind regards, Floor
