Take a memo

Fellow speaker,

Presentation professor Andrew Abela suggests you create a 5 part "memo" become clear about what you will recommend in your board room presentation:

  1. Idea - What do you want the audience to do?
  2. Background - What does everyone in the audience agree is the problem/situation?
  3. Workings - your proposal details 
  4. Benefits - Why should they do this? (e.g., fits with company strategy, proven in the market, profitable/cost-effective, etc.)
  5. Next - What next steps need to be taken? 
Memoed,
