Using the Osterwalder and Pigneur text as a resource (coupled with the other resources of the course), create a business model canvas of the VA Hospital ( Pick any Veterans Hospital in the country ). Since every organization has unique features, do your best to work at the application of the various components of the building blocks of the canvas. Show as much detail as you can so that it is evident that you comprehend the general business model of your organization. There must be a demonstration of synthesis of the procedure on your part. You may need to interview some of the management team to verify the business model details of your organization. You may also benefit from conducting an Internet search of the Business Model Canvas to become comfortable with how it works. There are many other YouTube-type videos on the web that demonstrate the use of the canvas. Your submission should consist of: A Cover page that provides a general description of your organization/business:  Name of the organization (preferably your present organization/business)  Date of origination (or incorporation)  Location (as appropriate; some entities require discretion)  Brief overview of the purpose of the organization/business  Description of your relationship and role in the organization/business  Other details that enable fuller explanation (if applicable) Note: You may create a Word.doc that lists the nine building blocks (clearly identify each one) and uses bulleted points in the same manner as Post-Its. or use the blank copy provided.

POSTER PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

-Begin with an introduction that defines the subject of your critique and your point of view. Defend your point of view by using evidence and raising specific issues or aspects of the argument.

• Keep the text brief. Blocks of text should not exceed three paragraphs. Limit the text to about one-fourth of the poster space, and use “visuals” (graphs, pictures, etc.) to tell the “story.”
• Use text to introduce the study (what hypothesis was tested or what problem was investigated?
• Why was the study worth doing?
• Use text to explain visuals and direct viewer’s attention to significant information and relationships portrayed in the visuals
• Use text to state and explain the interpretations that follow from the data. In many cases, conclusions can be summarized in a bullet-point list.
• Cite and reference any sources of information in APA format, just as you would do with a paper. The “References Cited” is placed at the end of the poster.

– Make it obvious to the viewer how to progressively view the poster. The poster generally should read from left to right, and top to bottom. Numbering the individuals panels, or connecting them with arrows is a standard “guidance system”

– When you begin to make your poster, first create a list of the visuals that you would use if you were describing your project with only the visuals. Write the text after you have created the list of visuals.

• Visuals should be simple and bold. Leave out or remove any unnecessary details. SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY. Keep to the point, and don’t try to cover too many things. Present only enough data to support your conclusions. On the other hand, make sure that you present sufficient data to support your conclusions. Make sure that any visual can “stand alone” (i. e., graph axes are properly labeled, maps have north arrows and distance scales, symbols are explained, etc.). Each visual should have a brief title.
• Use color to enhance comprehension, not to decorate the poster. Neatly coloring black-line illustrations with color pencils is entirely acceptable.
• Present numerical data in the form of graphs, rather than tables (graphs make trends in the data much more evident). If data must be presented in table-form, KEEP IT SIMPLE.

The event should be something that occurred in the past 20 years and may relate to international or domestic security.
