NIHITO Masterclass with Chad Eckes

Hello! It's the sixth and final week of the Masterclass! We made it!! 

This week we're covering how to create a report with the findings from your research. The video below steps through some thoughts on planning your report and possible outlines to consider. I tend to like creating slides for these types of reports, but some people are more comfortable with a regular document. 

Also, you may find these articles helpful inspiration when thinking about how to create good presentations:

• How To Tell Effective Visual Stories in Your Power Point Presentations, Envato Tuts+
• 7 Ways to Structure Your Presentation to Keep Your Audience Wanting More, Visme blog  

Attached below are two report examples from past in-depth interview projects I've done.  One is based on our ongoing case study company, Techie Co., and the other is from a project in the higher education space. The slides I use in the video are also attached. 

Your assignment this week is to create a report based on in-depth interviews you conducted.  You can post a report created on a past project, or you can create a new report. Feel free to just create a "ghost deck" or outline of the report, as I realize people may not be ready with a large number of interviews already completed. 

Your assignment is due Monday, May 23 at 12:00 AM Pacific. Be sure to also review and comment on at least one other member's analysis.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I hope the example reports are helpful food for thought!

Best,

Chad

Hi All,

I did not have enough real interviews to create a real Research Report, so I created this "ghost deck" that reflects the information I would expect to gather and review with our leadership team in order to gain consensus in the recommendations and the next steps to move the project forward.

This "ghost deck" took some time to create - an actual reject project report would take considerable time and effort to prepare, so give yourself the appropriate time and set the appropriate expectations with your team as to what it will take.

Thanks again for your feedback.

James
