Assignment: Begin this assignment by reading the scenario below:

You are a supervisor responsible for an organization's logistic team leaving an annual company meeting that just concluded. The organization has recently acquired two smaller companies and is in need of some additional talented employees. None of the current employees have the technical skills the organization needs to move forward. In the meeting, the president announced that they are open to suggestions to fulfill the talent gaps. You have some ideas that you believe will help the organization address the talent needs. You have not shared this information with anyone. When you arrive at the elevators, the president invites you to share the executive elevator, which will take you directly to the first floor without any stops. You know what a busy schedule the president has, so this may be your only chance. You are on the twelfth floor and know that you will only have until you reach the first floor to share your ideas.

You have about 30 to 60 seconds to give the president your elevator pitch.
