Presentation structure
A typical presentation structure combines the elements I mention at the
beginning of this chapter into something like what you see in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3 is just an example — almost every presentation has a unique struc-
ture depending on the content of the presentation and the audience. On the
other hand, the presentation
workflow for most presentations remains
unchanged, which is what I explain next.
Presentation workflow
The presentation workflow decides the sequence of the elements that I
explain earlier in this chapter. In addition, it includes some more abstract ele-
ments such as
delivery and repurposing. Chapters 14 and 15 discuss these
vital concepts.
Figure 1-4 shows a typical presentation workflow.
As you can see, the workflow begins with concept and visualization and ends
with delivery and repurposing. But that’s not entirely true — repurposing can
often be the same as the concept and visualization of another presentation!
That’s food for thought — and the stimulus for thoughts on another interest-
ing subject. . . .
