Flash Research Assignment
Instructions for Writing a Flash Research Paper:
Each flash research assignment will require the creation of a paper. The intended audience of this paper is the CIO of a company. Assume that the CIO understands technology at a very, very high level. Assume that the primary focus of the CIO is leveraging technology to create business value for their organization, not the technology itself. Executives are very busy people; time is precious for your typical CIO therefore learning how to articulate your ideas in a clear and concise manner is essential. Each paper has a length of 1 page which is strictly enforced. Each paper may have additional pages for diagrams as well as a minimum of three references.
Layout of a Flash Research Paper:
The body of the text for each flash research assignment will include the following components:
- The Hook – Tell me why I just have to read the rest of this paper!
- Tech Summary – What are the key capabilities of this technology that make it so compelling?
- Business Case – What is the core premise of the business case you would use to justify investing in this technology?
