Musa's gets an email Monday morning from Sarah - MD's Personal Assistant. It's about the much expected presentation on a new company strategy which the MD is scheduled to deliver next Monday. Sarah's email ends with the words: "I am confident you will ensure this very important presentation goes without a hitch. Thanks in advance".
Musa Dele Anicho is Training Manager in the eastern branch of a large corporate multinational. Apart from providing needs-based training for the site staffmanagers Kyle Brodziak Jersey , his job involves coordinating briefingspresentations etc that have a way of occurring at short notice - with the key actor often being a top man, for example in this case, Mr. Samuel Okocha Milan Lucic Jersey , the Managing Director.
Musa grimaces as he reads the last line of Sarah's email but seeing in it a tacit "warning" immediately sets out to make all necessary arrangements. It is the first time since becoming Training Manager that he would be personally responsible for preparations towards the MD's presentation.
By the end of the week his boss had contacted him more than 10 times about preparations and each time Musa had told him all was set. Indeed, "as far as he could see" everything was set.
a. He had copied the PowerPoint Presentation to the Toshiba Satellite laptop supplied by the IT department and test run it over and over again - with speakersprojector.
b. He had double-checked the lighting in the Training room to be used and ensured the seating arrangement would not prevent people seeing the projector screen.
c. Refreshments had been booked and all other routine arrangements made. All was set!
BUT why then - after all this work by Musa, did the following unfortunate event have to occur? And how did Musa via quick thinking eventually save the day - and himself?
It's 10.00 am Monday morning and Mr. Okocha(the MD) is on the 3rd slide of his presentation with all staff and Managers in the eastern branch listening with rapt attention to the high profile presentation with serious expressions on their faces.
The MD just finished giving an overview of the new strategy and then says "Let me now move to the most important part of my presentation which is: The breakdown of our new Corporate Strategy including the Action Plan for its implementation".
He clicks on the mouse but nothing happens(Musa's heart misses a beat). The MD clicks again Brandon Manning Jersey , this time twice, still nothing happens - A frown now appears on his forehead(Musa on his part is already beginning to sweat even though the room is fully airconditioned).
The MD grunts a bit inaudibly saying "Sorry I think there's a problem" and looks around as if asking for some help. Musa's boss, Mr. Lateef scowls deeply at Musa and motions with his eyes for him to do something!
Musa gets up Darnell Nurse Jersey , his mind racing, and walks with shaky legs towards the MD, who with characteristic calmness at this point casually carries on with his presentation using the printed paper version he had brought with him as a reference (Lesson: Anytime you have to give a PC presentation Adam Larsson Jersey , endeavour to carry a printed copy (printed version) with you as a backup. Technology is reliable but not error-free: Anything can happen, so be prepared!)
He realises he must find a very quick solution that will enable the MD deliver this important information to the large audience in a way that ensures they all get a sound understanding of the subject. He forces himself to calm down and think (even as one teasing voice tells him "There goes your career down the drain -all that hard work from all those years gone!").
Musa suddenly remembers that while preparing for the MD's presentation, he had taken pains to save a backup copy of the PowerPoint Presentation on his PC desktop in his office. An idea occurs to him Kris Russell Jersey , and he bolts from the hall and up to his office in the Training block in seconds.
He tries to copy the file to a 1.44MB floppy disk, but gets an error message: "not enough disk space!" The file is 1.65MB! He curses under his breadth, checks his watch: now almost 2 minutes since the MD stopped using the PC.
Some more thinking leads him to recall that right-clicking on a file in Windows XP and highlighting the "Send To" shortcut menu item brings up a short cut menu item called "Compressed(zipped) folder". This useful feature is an alternative for when one does not have utilities like Winzip Wayne Gretzky Jersey , Winrar or other file compression software on their PCs. Typically compression of up to 40% is achievable with this Windows XP version(Why not try using it now and see what you get?).
He right clicks the Power Point file, and applies the command. The resulting compressed .zip file easily copies to the floppy. He sprints out of his office and back into the hall where everyone turns to look at him as re-enters. He avoids his boss' glare and walks to the Laptop, heart pounding Connor McDavid Jersey , barely hearing the MD's voice.
With the PC projector lights still switched off, he copies the zipped file to the desktop and right clicks on it.
a. He then clicks on the "Extract All.." shortcut menu item to bring up a "Compressed (Zipped) files extraction Wizard" welcome screen.
b. He clicks "Next" twice and watches as the wizard copies a folder containing the powerpoint file to the desktop.
c. He clicks "finish" and the folder (by default setting) automatically opens to reveal the uncompressed PowerPoint Presentation.
He quickly launches the presentation and clicks through slides 1 to 3, then holding his breath clicks to continue. There is a short delay Leon Draisaitl Jersey , then the 4th slide appears! He clicks again, and the 5th appears, till all 10 slides are complete.
Musa looks up at his boss whose piercing gaze he has felt on him all the while and nods to indicate all is well. He puts on the Projector lights to reveal the 4th slide at which the MD turns and says "Ah Cheap Edmonton Oilers Jersey , looks like we can continue!". The presentation continues smo
