Design presentations that deliver maximum impact, engagement and insight

This course is now delivered online as a series of live sessions which fully meet the learning objectives of face-to-face training.

We all know that clients and stakeholders want insight and solutions – not data and methodology. Presenting the findings of a research project is your opportunity to shine – and for agencies, it’s the best launchpad to pitch for further work.

It is therefore critical that your audiences are shown the wood for the trees, that they clearly understand the key ‘story’ behind the data and are guided towards making the right business decisions. It’s also important that stories are told with the utmost visual impact.

This highly practical workshop will enable researchers with experience of creating presentations to refine their skills in the areas of storytelling and communicating insight. It defines the essence of an effective, client-focused presentation and shows how to analyse the client’s world in order to place research within a wider context. During the workshop you will design presentations that deliver maximum impact, engagement and insight.

Learning outcomes
  • Identify the key messages and the 'story’ that lies behind the data
  • Differentiate between well- and badly-designed presentations
  • Appreciate the importance of the personal and emotional elements of presentations
Who will benefit

Anyone, however senior, who creates client presentations, particularly of quantitative research findings, and who would like to improve their quality. The workshop assumes a reasonable knowledge of PowerPoint.
