Planning presentations
Planning presentations, involves more than simply jotting down a few points of what you are planning to say and show to your audience.
There are at least five or six different presentation formats depending on what you want to achieve and the type of audience you’ll have. These are * Inform employees about recent departmental changes. * Motivate a sales team. * Explain why a project is running over budget. * Educate students on a new subject. * Persuade workers to adopt a new production method. * Entertain at the retirement of a colleague.
Prior planning can prevent disappointments. Your presentations will improve in quality, to the extent that you take the time to analyze your message and your audience, then fine-tune it to the environment where you'll be presenting and the length of time you have available. Thereafter success comes from presenting the right information in the right format to the right audience in the right amount of time.
Presentation planning is the first step toward producing a successful presentation. That may sound like stating the obvious. But it’s amazing how many people, when asked to give a presentation, jump right in producing slides without having a clear idea of what their objectives are or how to achieve them.
Presentation planning is based around three broad questions. These are: * What is the purpose of your presentation? * Who is the audience for your presentation? * What is the location of your presentation
Based on these 3 important areas proper planning can help identify your main objectives and select the most appropriate format for you audience.
