Lesson’s central idea
Start with the point you need to make, arrange the evidence and alternatives, then design slides that help the audience test the argument.

3 tips · 1 category
Tip 01 · Plan the argument
Write what you are trying to say—not only the topic
What to do
The tutorial distinguishes a broad topic from the specific perspective the presentation will communicate.
Why it may help
A focused claim gives the audience a question to evaluate.
Practical adaptation · verify your details
Change “AI at work” into a testable message such as “A limited pilot may reduce one verified manual step.”
When it may not fit
Do not draft a conclusion before you have examined counterevidence and alternative interpretations.
Independent cross-check
Waterloo business-case guidance calls for a defined need, alternatives, and evidence.
Tip 02 · Structure
Arrange the supporting points into a logical argument
What to do
The video demonstrates planning the components of an argument before building the deck.
Why it may help
Planning can reveal missing links between evidence and recommendation before visual design begins.
Practical adaptation · verify your details
Outline the recommendation, two supporting findings, one risk, and the decision needed.
When it may not fit
Do not imply that every deck should follow the same consulting-firm structure.
Independent cross-check
UOW recommends a coherent sequence and transitions suited to the topic and audience.
Tip 03 · Slide design
Make the slides readable enough to support discussion
What to do
The tutorial includes design decisions for business decks with text, numbers, charts, and diagrams.
Why it may help
Readable slides allow a room to inspect evidence and return to the discussion.
Practical adaptation · verify your details
Use a descriptive headline, readable type, meaningful labels, and one principal visual per slide.
When it may not fit
Aesthetic similarity to consulting decks is not evidence of accuracy or quality; preserve accessible contrast and labels.
Independent cross-check
Manchester and Waterloo guidance support clear titles, labels, and accessible visual design.
