Structured Storyboarding for Effective Presentations


This PPT slide, part of the 20-slide How to Prepare a Powerful PowerPoint PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured approach for developing effective presentation decks. It emphasizes the importance of a storyboard to visualize the messaging across each page. The initial three pages of every deck are standardized, serving as a foundation for clarity. The first page is dedicated to the title, where the topic or main message is highlighted, along with the date and other relevant details. The second page provides background information, detailing what is being discussed and the rationale behind it. This section sets the context for the audience, ensuring they understand the significance of the content.

The third page focuses on the main message, which is presented as the title of the section. It breaks down the core points into a structured format, allowing for easy comprehension. The slide also differentiates between short, medium, and long decks, suggesting that longer presentations require more pages and navigational aids to maintain reader engagement. For short decks, a single page per chapter is sufficient. Medium decks necessitate one page per chapter and per point, while long decks demand a page for each chapter, point, and sub-point. This tiered approach ensures that the audience can follow the narrative without confusion.

Key takeaways include the necessity of a clear structure in presentations and the need to adapt content based on the length of the deck. This method not only enhances clarity, but also aids in retaining audience attention throughout the presentation.
