What you will learn

Model the planning path from audience need to evidence, visual hierarchy, delivery, and next action.

Opening idea

A polished presentation can still leave an audience unsure what to do. Watch the planning decisions that turn information into action.

What to notice

1. Define the audience, decision, constraints, and success signal before opening slide software.
2. Build a six-part story: situation, evidence, meaning, recommendation, implications, action.
3. Revise a dense visual for hierarchy, contrast, concise labels, and spoken description.
4. Use rehearsal feedback to improve pacing, reasoning, and the final call to action.

Workplace example

Use a service handoff improvement recommendation and walk from a blank storyboard to a six-to-eight-slide plan.

Pause and think

What would you ask an audience to do immediately after your presentation, and how will you know they can do it?
