10 steps to Designing a Presentation

This guide for creating your own presentation from scratch, or improving an existing one, using the 10-step Extreme Presentation(tm) method. It is designed primarily for people who have already taken the Extreme Presentation workshop or read the book Advanced Presentations by Design. If you have done neither of these, we recommend that you at least read the book, but even if you don't, you should still find useful guidance here. Before you begin, you may wish to download a pdf file of the Extreme Presentation Method overview and print it out.

The Extreme Presentation method takes a marketing approach to presentation design: focusing on how to “sell” your ideas to your audience. The method consists of the five essential elements of an effective presentation and ten practical steps to put each of those elements into practice.
The circle in the center of the Extreme Presentation method diagram, with the word “impact” in it, indicates that the entire purpose of the method is to ensure that you have impact on your audience. Around that inner circle, the next ring contains the five essential elements of an effective presentation:
  • Logic: we need to make sure that there is solid logic in our presentation and that our recommendations are robust;
  • Rhetoric: we must tell an interesting story, in a compelling way. Logic is important, but of no use to you if everyone has tuned out because they are bored;
  • Graphics: to make sure that you are using the most effective visual elements and overall layout;
  • Politics: to apply effective influence in order to get your audience to take action; and
  • Metrics: to be clear on what the specific objective is for the presentation, and how success will be measured.
There are two steps in each of the five elements, for a total of ten steps. These steps are:
  1. Audience: Identify the communication preferences of the different personality types
  2. Objectives: Set specific objectives for what you want your audience to think and do differently after your presentation
  3. Problem/Solution: Identify a problem your audience has that your presentation will contribute to solving
  4. Evidence: List all the information that you think you may need to include in your presentation
  5. Anecdotes: Identify brief anecdotes that highlight your most important points
  6. Sequencing: Sequence your information so that it tells a compelling story
  7. Graphics: Identify the most effective graphical elements to use in your presentation
  8. Layout: Create slides that communicate your information concisely and effectively
  9. Stakeholders: Identify any potential roadblocks to achieving your objectives, and make a plan to deal with each
  10. Measurement: Decide how you will measure the success of your presentation

presentation definitions



Presentation is the practice of showing and explaining the content of a topic to an audience or learner. Presentations come in nearly as many forms as there are life situations. In the business world, there are sales presentations, informational and motivational presentations, first encounters, interviews, briefings, status reports, image-building, and of course, the inevitable training sessions.
Although individuals most often think of presentations in a business meeting context, there are countless occasions when that is not the case. For example, a Non Profit Organization presents the need for a capital fund-raising campaign to benefit the victims of a recent tragedy; a school district superintendent presents a program to parents about the introduction of foreign-language instruction in the elementary schools;an artist demonstrates decorative painting techniques to a group of interior designers; a horticulturist shows garden club members or homeowners how they might use native plants in the suburban landscape; a police officer addresses a neighborhood association about initiating a safety program.
Presentations can also be categorized as vocational and avocational. In addition, they are expository or persuasive. And they can be impromptu, extemporaneous, written, or memorizes. When looking at presentations in the broadest terms, it's more important to focus on their purpose. There are three basic purposes for giving oral presentations:
  1. To Inform
  2. To Persuade
  3. To Build Goodwill
