Unit introduction
‘I hate the way people use slide presentations instead of thinking. People confront a problem by creating a presentation. I wanted them to engage, to hash things out at the table, rather than show a bunch of slides.’ — Steve Jobs
- The effective delivery of presentations is an important part of studying for higher qualifications not least because it equips the presenter with valuable skills that are equally important in professional life.
- Many professions routinely experience meetings or seminars where they are subject to ‘death by PowerPoint’ but in the hands of skilled practitioners who can engage with a topic knowledgeably and with a sense of humour it is possible to use an appropriate presentation format to inspire the passion and enthusiasms of an audience.
- In this unit learners will examine the preparation that must be undertaken to deliver messages effectively and consider the needs of different audiences. This will inform the objectives when presenting information.
- Once learners have explored the theoretical underpinnings of good presentations, they will practise and develop presentational skills, demonstrating competence in the delivery of material to different audiences.
- On completion of this unit learners should be well equipped to pitch an offering to a client or internal stakeholders within their own organisation.
