This PowerPoint deck introduces the seven most commonly used storyline patterns in business and explains how to transform each one into a PowerPoint deck of its own.
Based on the Pyramid Principle, each of these seven patterns help you clarify your thinking around an important business issue so you can communicate it clearly.
While useful on its own, it is designed to accompany the templates for the patterns it describes, which are also available on Flevy.
This PPT provides a comprehensive guide to creating effective business presentations using seven distinct storyline patterns. Each pattern is tailored to address specific communication needs, from recommending options to presenting business cases. The deck emphasizes the importance of selecting the right pattern to match your message, ensuring clarity and impact.
The included Ten Point Test is a robust tool for evaluating the strength of your storyline. It covers critical aspects such as the introduction, the central 'So What' message, and the supporting evidence. This test helps you maintain a coherent and compelling narrative, ensuring your presentation is both logical and persuasive.
The document also offers practical steps for constructing your deck, from preparing titles and background pages to adding navigational aids. Detailed examples, such as the 'Action Jackson' and 'The Pitch' templates, illustrate how to effectively structure your slides. These templates are designed to streamline your process, saving time while enhancing the quality of your presentations.
