Skip the blank slide panic. This guide provides a repeatable outline and workshop that turns raw notes into a presentation with momentum.
Framework overview
- Signal — Define the tension, stakes, and outcome.
- System — Show the process or product that resolves the tension.
- Story — Humanize with proof, anecdotes, and next steps.
90-minute build
- Prep (15 min): Collect three customer quotes and one metric that proves urgency.
- Outline (30 min): Map slides to the framework, ensuring each section answers one question.
- Design (30 min): Use a modular template, add visuals that reinforce the system, and keep typography consistent.
- Polish (15 min): Read the deck aloud, tighten transitions, and lock the CTA.
Deliver
- Export to PDF for review.
- Package support docs (FAQ, appendix) separately.
- Store the final deck in your knowledge hub with tags for future reuse.
