Benchmark: Presentation – Communicating and Sustaining Change
Unsatisfactory (0.00%)
Environmental and organizational pressures are not
presented.
Implementation strategies are not presented.
Communication strategies are not presented.
A strategic plan for sustaining change is not presented.
Obstacles and unintended consequences are not predicted.
The content lacks a clear point of view and logical sequence
of information. Includes little persuasive information.
Sequencing of ideas is unclear.
The layout is cluttered, confusing, and does not use spacing,
headings, and subheadings to enhance the readability. The
text is extremely difficult to read with long blocks of text,
small point size for fonts, and inappropriate contrasting
colors. Poor use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or
bold formatting is evident.
Inappropriate word choice and lack of variety in language use
are evident. Writer appears to be unaware of audience. Use
of primer prose indicates writer either does not apply figures
of speech or uses them inappropriately.
Slide errors are pervasive enough that they impede
communication of meaning.
Sources are not documented.
Total Points
180.0
Less than Satisfactory (65.00%)
At least one environmental or organizational pressure is
referenced.
The specific steps needed to implement the change vision are
missing. No strategies are described clearly.

communication strategies are not presented.
A plan for sustaining change is acknowledged. No strategy is
described clearly.
A vague prediction for obstacles and unintended
consequences is presented.
The content is vague in conveying a point of view and does
not create a strong sense of purpose. Includes some
persuasive information.
The layout shows some structure, but appears cluttered and
busy or distracting with large gaps of white space or a
distracting background. Overall readability is difficult due to
lengthy paragraphs, too many different fonts, dark or busy
background, overuse of bold, or lack of appropriate
indentations of text.
Some distracting inconsistencies in language choice (register)
or word choice are present. The writer exhibits some lack of
control in using figures of speech appropriately.

incomplete or lacks important details.
A general prediction for obstacles and unintended
consequences is presented.
The presentation slides are generally competent, but ideas
may show some inconsistency in organization and/or in their
relationships to each other.
The layout uses horizontal and vertical white space
appropriately. Sometimes the fonts are easy to read, but in a
few places the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs,
color, or busy background detracts and does not enhance
readability.
Language is appropriate to the targeted audience for the
most part.
Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but they are
not overly distracting to the reader.

style, although some formatting errors may be present.

enable the content to be easily read. The fonts are easy to
read and point size varies appropriately for headings and text.
The writer is clearly aware of audience, uses a variety of
appropriate vocabulary for the targeted audience, and uses
figures of speech to communicate clearly.
Slides are largely free of mechanical errors, although a few
may be present.
Sources are documented, as appropriate to assignment and
style, and format is mostly correct.
Excellent (100.00%)
Major and minor environmental and organizational pressures
are described.
The steps for implement are clearly described. Strong
strategies for the implementation of each step are proposed.
