From Data to Decision: Effective Presentation Creation & Visual Storyboarding for Professionals

Things to bring during the course:

• A laptop (Windows or macOS) suitable for everyday use
• A Google and/or Microsoft (Hotmail/Outlook) email account to access AI tools
• No software installation required; web-based access will be used

In most organisations, presentations are not merely communication tools — they are decision-shaping instruments.

Teams across functions are regularly required to present complex data, project updates, strategic proposals, and technical information to diverse stakeholders — from executives and clients to cross-functional teams and regulators.

However, many business presentations suffer from:

• Excessive data density
• Lack of narrative structure
• Overloaded slides
• Poor visual hierarchy
• Audience misalignment

The gap between information and insight is where most presentations break down. Professionals need practical tools to identify what matters, structure it clearly, and present it with impact — whether they build slides manually or with the help of AI.

This programme equips professionals with presentation thinking frameworks, visual design principles, and hands-on practice — including AI-assisted slide creation — to transform how they communicate ideas to decision-makers.

Objective

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify the core insight in complex information before designing slides
• Structure presentations around audience needs and decision points
• Apply visual design principles to improve clarity and impact
• Use AI tools to accelerate slide creation while maintaining quality and intent
• Build persuasive, audience-ready presentation decks — manually or with AI

Part 2 — Presentation Doing
Design your deck.
