Presentation is the process of presenting the content of a topic to an audience. Presentation software such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Keynote or OpenOffice.org Impress is often used to illustrate the presentation content.
Skeleton of a presentation
To deliver a good presentation, you should follow the four steps below:
- Planning: Understand your audience -- about their needs, their background, and the place where your presentation will be delivered. The way to present a topic to a group of elementary students is different from the way to present to undergraduates. To present in a meeting room, you can speak quickly; but when presenting in a hall, you need to speak slower. Plan your coverage so you can present within the time frame available.
- Preparing: Thesis statement -> objectives -> Outline -> coverage depth. Encourage responses, and stimulate reactions and their learning desire.
- Delivering: Deliver your presentation, with visual aids like presentation slides. Use animation sparingly, so it will not distract the audience. Think of putting summaries of each slide in the "note" portion of your presentation, and have them printed out as handouts to the audience.
- Reviewing: You may wish to deliver your presentations again. Review your performances so you can improve them the next time you perform.
Useful illustrations
- Waterfall diagram: This diagram breaks down 100% of the market share into their holders, sorting from largest to smallest.
- BCG diagram: This diagram is extremely useful in marketing, although most people only learn the basics of the diagram at undergraduate level.
- SWOT Analysis: This is clear and precise, and states the problem effectively.
