Have you ever been to a conference, where you felt lost in the presentation?
I experienced many such situations. The worst was IT conferences – speakers there usually present some new cool application. Most of the speech a speaker talks about all the magic features their software offers. However often I missed one thing – what the hell was their application good for?
I think every product presentation, every ‘Problem and Solution’ speech would benefit by having a simple diagram at the first presentation slide – diagram showing:
- Where we are today – describe a specific problem
- Where we want to be – a goal state (specific please, not a general one like ‘We save you money and time’)
Just then tell about your fancy solution.
Here’s an example of how I’d draw a diagram for ‘Problem and Solution’ presentation:
