This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide Presentation Development Primer (Storyboarding, Slide Design) PowerPoint presentation, presents an introduction to the concept of storyboarding, emphasizing its critical role in effective consulting practices. It outlines several key principles that should guide the development of storyboards.
First, it asserts that storyboards must be created prior to conducting any analysis. This challenges a common misconception that analysis should precede storyboard development. By establishing the storyboard first, consultants can better frame their research and analysis efforts.
Next, the slide highlights that storyboards serve as a guiding framework for analysis and research. This means that while creating a storyboard, consultants might identify gaps in their analysis, prompting necessary adjustments. This iterative process ensures that the storyboard remains aligned with the overall objectives of the presentation.
The slide also stresses that the length of the presentation is secondary to the strength of the storyboard. The narrative conveyed through the storyboard is what ultimately dictates the presentation's duration. This perspective encourages consultants to focus on clarity and coherence in their storytelling rather than merely meeting time constraints.
Additionally, it notes that effective storyboards should not require verbal explanations. If the storyboard fails to communicate the intended message independently, it indicates a flaw in the storytelling approach. This principle underscores the importance of crafting a storyboard that is self-explanatory and can stand alone in conveying the core message.
Finally, the slide concludes with a reminder that mastering the art of storyboarding requires significant practice and time. This reinforces the notion that developing strong storyboards is a skill that can be refined over time, essential for any successful consultant.
