Craft a powerful presentation template

Craft a powerful presentation by experimenting with different story arcs

Craft a powerful presentation

Use this template, courtesy of our friends at IDEO, to craft a powerful presentation that'll leave a lasting impact on your audience. Map out your presentation's main message and experiment with different emotional journeys to effectively deliver your message. This template will guide you through the process of gathering and preparing your content, experimenting with different sequences, reflecting, and assessing the best structure, and building your presentation collaboratively.

The presentation template helps you:

  • Engage emotionally: Leverage the power of emotion to make your message stick long after the presentation is over.

  • Deliver a memorable presentation: Experiment with different story arcs to find the structure that best delivers your message.

  • Assess and optimize: Reflect on and assess different sequences to understand which structure best supports your main message.

Step 2: Experiment
