Preparations for the pitch

A brief summary of yesterday's discussions.

It was decided that an hour and a half prior to the pitch on Thursday morning will be set aside for practicing the pitch and ironing out the technicalities such as working the slide show. During this time, specific roles will be allocated: although the group has a rough idea as to what they will be saying and has a good understanding of the proposed 'script' outline.

This gives an amount of lee way in that in the event of anybody being unable to attend the pitch there will still be five individuals to present and take on more dominant roles. In addition, one member will be allocated to controlling and activating slides: most likely Dan (me), as he was the individual principally allocated with the task of preparing the slides.

The group has found the best way to approach the pitch will be as a whole group. This has been selected in favour of having, say, two people present the pitch, as although this would most likely be a more efficient way of focusing attention on the product being pitched rather than the members of the group, it is the consensus that we should allocate roles equally. Plus, should anything go wrong there will be a number of other people to back each other up.

The content of the pitch itself has been determined to be the points outlined in yesterday's post to the blog. This can be found in a more prose based format here:
