The term 3D printing covers a variety of
processes in which material is joined or
solidified under computer control to create
a three-dimensional object,[1] with
material being added together (such as
liquid molecules or powder grains being
fused together), typically layer by layer. In
the1990s, 3Dprinting techniques were
considered suitableonly for theproduction
of functional or aesthetical prototypesand
a more appropriateterm was rapid
prototyping. Today, theprecision,
repeatability and material range have
increased to thepoint thatsome3D
printing processes areconsidered viableas
an industrial production

Team Panacea aimed to establish criteria for identifying best practices within the Veterans Health Administration, ultimately shifting focus to innovative practices. Their proposed solution includes a knowledge repository, centralized project management, and network mapping tools to support innovation specialists. Feedback from the VA indicated strong interest in their final product, highlighting its potential as a game changer in the VA innovation ecosystem.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Jeff: Great first slide. Overall, you guys have made great progress. You still have a little way to go, especially with the slide headings
- #3 Jeff: what does “by the way” add to the heading?
- #4 Jeff: Headings should be declarative.
- #5 Jeff: heading needs work. What is the main point of the slide? Sorting requires making comparisons...maybe that shoudl be the heading??? Get rid of question mark, at least
- #6 What’s with the question marks in the headings?? Short declarative headings that capture the thesis/argument that the slide is making. Again, what point are you trying to make here? “Sorting requires data” but even that heading is missing somethinig
- #7 Jeff: Jesus you’re killing me with the “...” and question marks. Consider building this slide. It’s too damn busy. I don’t know where to look first. My eyes always go down to the weekly emoticon first which takes away from the actual content of the slide. Tom is the expert so I’ll defer to him but maybe have an emoticon on every other slide or every several slides?? Also, I still can’t read your MVP and neither will the audience
- #8 Jeff: this slide confuses me. I understand what you are going for but you don’t capture it. Text box is too wordy. Get rid of black flag of attack. Can you find a better GIF?
- #9 Jeff: Hold on. Your dead then alive...but with what? Add in to the previous slide that you are now focusing on InnSpecs and it would see that your sponsor revived you based on the slide content
- #10 Jeff: “Meeting Five innovation…” Have you stacked these headings to determine if they logically flow? From my side of the fence, they don’t provide a snapshot of your overall narrative.
- #13 Jeff: This heading is much much better. Play with the formatting. Some words are caps others not. Why? Also doesn’t jive with formatting of other headings. Is there a typo in the quote? “It” is unnecessary
- #14 Maybe bump this slide up to 13 to explain how/why you arrived at your MVP.
- #16 Jeff: add a heading indicating that this is your MVP. I’m also struggling to understand how what you have just told me results in this solution.
- #17 Jeff: can you build the MVP slide to include these quotes? They are untethered to the MVP I saw two slides ago.
- #18 Checks next to quotes would be better. Voice over Product market fit and early buy-in. Reword: “Team P will continue to work with…” and “The team is pursuing funding to develop Inno resource center”
