Review of the 13th Day

Today I attend the seminar about "How to Deliver a Persuasive Business Presentation." The seminar focused on how to create good slides for the business presentation, using the presentation created by McKinsey.

According to the seminar, business presentation is structured by the following components;

• Situation
• Current business environment
• Complication
• Base case, what will happen in the future
• Resolution
• Prioritization -> Recommendation and why

It also mentioned that the clear purpose for the presentation and the reasons for the claim/ suggestion is essential. 

Not only the overall structure, but the detailed slide structure was explained. Well, that sounded very basic to me. 

• Slide structure
• key message is put in the title so that it will generate why question.
• facts and figures are put in the body.....etc

Personally, I prefer the creative and communication based presentation based on Prezi or Zen so I was a bit disappointed at the seminar mainly on how to prepare the business presentation slides. However, today's seminar would be very fruitful and informative to those unfamiliar with it.
