The purpose of the Nurse Executive Track Concluding Graduate Experience (CGE) is to prepare the current and emerging leader for an important part of leadership practice: Leading Organizational Change. Through this point in the CGE, your preparation for leading organizational change has focused on planning concepts and tools for practice change, process change, or quality improvement projects. You have explored and practiced the following project management concepts thus far:

• PICOT Development
• Project Charter
• Scope of Work
• Communication Plan
• Project Deliverables
• Critical Success Factors
• Work Breakdown Structure
• Gantt Chart

If your project was aligned with the timing of the CGE lessons, you would be at the point where the planning phase is complete and its time to turn your efforts toward execution or implementation. In reality, it is nearly impossible to align the real-world timing of your project with the timing of the CG courses. You may already be in the execution phase in real life. Or your project may have hit delays or barriers and youre not yet ready for execution. In real-world projects, the planning you have done to this point would all be done in a matter of several weeks. But now, for course purposes, you will imagine that your project is at this point where the next step is the kickoff event.

The kickoff-to-execution presentation is designed to get everyone on the right path while inspiring and motivating them to succeed. This is your opportunity to showcase the work you have done designing and planning your project as well as the unique tools you developed and are about to implement. Your kickoff PowerPoint presentation is the key to setting the tone for the kickoff meeting.
