This PPT slide, part of the 20-slide How to Prepare a Powerful PowerPoint PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured approach for creating effective presentation decks, emphasizing the importance of a clear storyboard. It begins by stating that every deck should start with three essential pages, which serve as a foundation for the presentation. The first page is dedicated to the title, where the main topic or message should be clearly stated, along with the date and other relevant details. This sets the stage for the audience, ensuring they understand the focus right from the beginning.
The second page, labeled "Background," is crucial for contextualizing the discussion. It should explain what the presentation is about and why the topic is relevant. This page is about establishing the groundwork for the audience, making it easier for them to grasp the subsequent content.
The third page, titled "Main Message," is where the core points of the presentation are summarized. This section should be structured to guide the audience through the main arguments or insights, using bullet points for clarity.
The slide also differentiates between various lengths of decks. For shorter presentations, a single page per chapter is recommended. Medium-length decks should include one page per chapter and point, while longer decks require a more detailed approach with one page dedicated to each chapter, point, and sub-point. This structured approach aids in maintaining clarity and ensuring that the audience can easily follow the narrative throughout the presentation. The overall message emphasizes the importance of organization and clarity in conveying information effectively.
