Presentations — building the argument before building the slides

You build 24 slides over two days. In the meeting you reach slide 9 before someone asks a question that the whole deck was supposed to answer. You never get to slide 18, which contained the actual recommendation.

You need

Decision: whether to approve ₹40 lakh for a Hyderabad warehouse. Audience: three directors, financially literate, do not know the delivery data.

Tool

Any assistant

You get

1. THE ARGUMENT AS SENTENCES 1.

Time saved

A decision deck from two days to about three hours, most of which is now spent on the argument rather than on layout.
