Love how he goes INCEPTION at the end!! Structure to explain the structure.

@timgerber5563 Год назад

Plus, from an instructional design point of view it also serves as a reinforcing summary. Genius!

@domm1341 Год назад

Good video presentation. I’m also reminded of the following mantra when speaking to an audience: 1. Tell them what you’re going to tell them. 2. Tell them. 2. Tell them what you’ve told them.

@ians7929 Год назад

Never ever do this

@DjIngenio 7 месяцев назад

In general, that's the structure of this video ;) @@ians7929

@TheUrbanEpicure 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, that works for school projects, in college and maybe at a TED talk, but corporate, senior, intellectually strong audiences will be annoyed (best case) or offended (worst case) by your repetitions.

@rouvenrouven5037 6 месяцев назад

Then you might haven't done it properly. It's nothing more than a universal structure of beginning, middle and ending. Bu't its also nothing less. Universal and useful for presentation, because it reminds you to make a clear introduction focussed on an aim and to have an end with a clear conclusion.. But you've also cat to add a catchy opener wich makes a clear transition to the key questions wich are focussed on the problems of your audience, provides a key message wich leads into your suggestion... and your conclusion about the whole presentation and your appeal. , key questions, messages and everything else... @@TheUrbanEpicure

@deepakthakur9536 2 года назад

Not sure why you dont have large no of Views Paul . Your content and narrative are the best .

@labitx Год назад

As someone who works on projects that have different stakeholders that needs slightly different updates and messaging to suit their objective in my projects, it's really great to see the structure being laid clear to me that I have 'realised' over years of mistakes. How I wished I have learnt this as a start.

@judyl.7811 Год назад

0:10 not just formatting and design, but the story they tell. --> takeways, insights, narrative. 1:20 two important concepts: the SCQA framework: situation, complication, question, and answer. the pyramid principle. 2:20 complication: a change in situaiton (why presentation is needed) 3:15 OER: open resource education. 3:50 however, is the clue that complication is coming. 5:50 provide granular detail. 6:10 how you turn a question into building a slidedeck. this is soooo brilliant. 6:30 however, there are many factors influencing the final version deck, not to mention, executive summary, next steps, and appendix.

@maepurple9796 2 месяца назад

Amazing summary🎉

@winargilang3243 2 года назад

This is it. Finally I found the link between SCQA, Pyramid, and sliding story board. Thank you very much for creating this content

@leonidas7692 2 года назад

Absolutely. Been reading McK Mind and Way but after going through Pyramid I too looked for the link. This is it.

@terrytraylor874 Год назад

I normally don’t comment but this presentation was absolutely outstanding. Subscribing right now!!!

@BuddyLuv 11 месяцев назад

I have very little presentation experience and have to pull one together for a big meeting. This video took me from feeling overwhelmed by not knowing what point to start from to feeling at ease and believing I can create a solid presentation. Thanks so much for making it easy and helping me get on track.

@steph_ak Год назад

Would be great if you did a video on the Executive Summary and Next Steps/Recommendation Slide? Basically, how to start and finish your deck strong especially if you will use it as a backdrop in a live presentation. Thank you for content so far, I learnt a lot/formalised what I been doing subconsciously 🤗

@pksteffen 2 года назад

Nicely done. Structure is key to efficiency and clarity and this is a clear explanation for one approach. To get to the next level you need a visual strategy that creates synergy between pictures and words even for a simplified narrative approach like this one.

@arieheinrich3457 Год назад

Its interesting that i have never heard or read about SCQA as a concept but over the years its exactly how i create my own presentation. Naturally some of it is from reading and seeing other presentations and some as a logical way of making the ideas more understood by others.

@mastervibz9858 Год назад

I think you nailed it. The best way to have demonstrated the concepts was to show how you used it even in this presentation. Thanks for sharing this knowledge

@victorbond73 Год назад

I am slowly getting into strategy consulting, and your content is reeeeaaaaly helpful!!! Thank you for that!

@omiiftikhar6688 Год назад

This is probably my first ever comment on a YT vid but man your work is AWESOME!!! Not only does it provide specific insights into what i am looking for, but it does it in a way that is super compelling and to the point. LOVE LOVE your work mate. Keep it up.

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Wow what a comment! Thank you!!

@rioafriyanto5208 Год назад

Love how he "trapped" us in this video under his SCQA genjutsu. I listen to this video again to ensure my just-completed slide deck meets with the SCQA and pyramid principle. Now i need to practice delivering the presentation with good narrative flow.

@loidadumaguin3457 10 месяцев назад

The video is clear, easy-to-follow, and actionable.

@Esbbbb Год назад

I thought I was good at making PowerPoint presentations, but dam I was wrong. Then I watched this video. Today, I had to present in 5 minutes a research project to some of our company managers. I had 5 mins?! I thought how the hell am I going to get this done... But I did this, sent the material as pre-reading and hoped for the best. Today I had the presentation, and I think I nailed it. I didn't go overtime and I covered all the major points although I had to take some huge shortcuts. I still left the text and points there since I had sent the material to them, so they are then able to later check it again. Thanks for this guide, I will surely utilize this more in the future!

I have no idea why this would pop up in my recommended clips, but I’m glad it did. Just subscribed.

@nixmamd Год назад

Great video summarizing the key principles! One important advantage of applying the pyramid principle is that you are quite flexible when working with your deck. From my experience people will just accept most of the things you present them and will believe them. No need to go to the lowest level there. But there will be a couple of topics where they want the deep dive and might challenge your takeaways. The pyramid principle helps to have slides prepared for the high level brush over it situations and the detailed discussion over one key point that your audience sees as most critical.

@joyluo6394 2 года назад

Easy and clear! It reminds me of the book: Understand by Design 🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍💯💯💯

@phillipwilliams484 Год назад

SCQA, my first introduction to this concept. Using this in the Ph.D. program!

@tigertigerp8371 Год назад

Hi Paul, thank you for this nice video. Very useful. A input from my end to yourself. The pyramid principle is also build up around the principle of Observations (at the bottom), Conclusion (second bottom) and Recommendations/Ideas (at top). Also I would argue that in the storyline you will put the SCQ first then the main idea and then the Supporting details "Conclusions". You can keep the Observations in appendix as supporting slide. Leaders are usually interested in conclusions and might ask to the details of the Conclusion, but not necessary interested in hearing them completely

@edwin6412 Год назад

Thanks Paul , I just shared the link with my daughter who's now a Biz analyst from Henley Business School. M sure this will be useful for her.

@PBR060661 Год назад

A good video. I learned both the main concepts over 25 years ago when I read Barbara Minto’s book “The Pyramid Principle”. I still refer to it if I’m struggling to structure a presentation, paper, letter, proposal.

@thesuit4820 Год назад

Another point on SCQA: the SCQ/intro slides content has almost certainly been pre-agreed, at least implicitly. It's a defensive structure in a commercial setting, in effect making sure the the vendor's material defines the scope and sets the terms by which it should be judged.
