This product (PPT Template for Communicating an Action Plan) is a 22-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPTX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

Sometimes we don't have to argue a case about why we have to act, we just have to act!

That's where my Nike pattern comes in. It's an action storyline, pure and simple. Nike tells the audience what steps are required to implement a particular action.

Here's what you need to know about what the deck offers, how to use it and who prepared it.

The deck offers three things to help you with your next green or amber update, where 'all is well':

•  A one-page message map template as well as a case study using that template.
•  A storyboard to show how the shape of the story drives the shape of the deck.
•  A PowerPoint illustrating how to create an update that allows the messaging to be skimmed.

The case study shows how to get out of the details so you can clarify and convey any kind of plan, even if it is complex, to decision makers ... and get a fast decision.

You can use this template three ways:

1 – Use the one-pager with instructions of what ideas to put where to clarify your thinking as you distil your message.
2 – Use the one-pager for the case study as reference to see how the instructions on the blank template play out.
3 – Cut and paste from the sample slides where the images could be adapted for your own deck.

With this template, you can efficiently communicate your achievements and areas for minor improvement. The structured layout helps you maintain focus and clarity, making it an invaluable tool for any professional tasked with delivering updates.

Whether you're reporting to stakeholders or team members, this template ensures your message is both impactful and professional.
