The Presentation – PowerPoint Structure
•
Garr Reynolds, in his book Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design
and Delivery, identifies characteristics of presentation content that create what he
calls SUCCES(s):
•
Simplicity – reduce information to key points and essential meanings.
•
Unexpectedness – pose questions, offer interesting statistics, “make the audience
aware that they have a gap in their knowledge and then fill that gap.”
•
Concreteness – use specific language, provide real-life examples
•
Credibility – use sources, facts, and statistics to back up your content; deliver
information confidently; know your information well
•
Emotions – engage your audience to feel something about your content
•
Stories – use examples and illustrations to create a “story element” to the presentation
