Plus, from an instructional design point of view it also serves as a reinforcing summary. Genius!

Good video presentation. I’m also reminded of the following mantra when speaking to an audience: 1. Tell them what you’re going to tell them. 2. Tell them. 2. Tell them what you’ve told them.

Yeah, that works for school projects, in college and maybe at a TED talk, but corporate, senior, intellectually strong audiences will be annoyed (best case) or offended (worst case) by your repetitions.

Then you might haven't done it properly. It's nothing more than a universal structure of beginning, middle and ending. Bu't its also nothing less. Universal and useful for presentation, because it reminds you to make a clear introduction focussed on an aim and to have an end with a clear conclusion.. But you've also cat to add a catchy opener wich makes a clear transition to the key questions wich are focussed on the problems of your audience, provides a key message wich leads into your suggestion... and your conclusion about the whole presentation and your appeal. , key questions, messages and everything else... @@TheUrbanEpicure

Not sure why you dont have large no of Views Paul . Your content and narrative are the best .

As someone who works on projects that have different stakeholders that needs slightly different updates and messaging to suit their objective in my projects, it's really great to see the structure being laid clear to me that I have 'realised' over years of mistakes. How I wished I have learnt this as a start.

Nicely done. Structure is key to efficiency and clarity and this is a clear explanation for one approach. To get to the next level you need a visual strategy that creates synergy between pictures and words even for a simplified narrative approach like this one.

Its interesting that i have never heard or read about SCQA as a concept but over the years its exactly how i create my own presentation. Naturally some of it is from reading and seeing other presentations and some as a logical way of making the ideas more understood by others.

I have very little presentation experience and have to pull one together for a big meeting. This video took me from feeling overwhelmed by not knowing what point to start from to feeling at ease and believing I can create a solid presentation. Thanks so much for making it easy and helping me get on track.

This is it. Finally I found the link between SCQA, Pyramid, and sliding story board. Thank you very much for creating this content

Absolutely. Been reading McK Mind and Way but after going through Pyramid I too looked for the link. This is it.

Would be great if you did a video on the Executive Summary and Next Steps/Recommendation Slide? Basically, how to start and finish your deck strong especially if you will use it as a backdrop in a live presentation. Thank you for content so far, I learnt a lot/formalised what I been doing subconsciously 🤗

I am slowly getting into strategy consulting, and your content is reeeeaaaaly helpful!!! Thank you for that!

I think you nailed it. The best way to have demonstrated the concepts was to show how you used it even in this presentation. Thanks for sharing this knowledge

0:10 not just formatting and design, but the story they tell. --> takeways, insights, narrative. 1:20 two important concepts: the SCQA framework: situation, complication, question, and answer. the pyramid principle. 2:20 complication: a change in situaiton (why presentation is needed) 3:15 OER: open resource education. 3:50 however, is the clue that complication is coming. 5:50 provide granular detail. 6:10 how you turn a question into building a slidedeck. this is soooo brilliant. 6:30 however, there are many factors influencing the final version deck, not to mention, executive summary, next steps, and appendix.

Wow what a comment! Thank you!!

SCQA, my first introduction to this concept. Using this in the Ph.D. program!

Very insightful points. I use the pyramid structure a bit differently, but I like your framework very much. Great video!

Great video summarizing the key principles! One important advantage of applying the pyramid principle is that you are quite flexible when working with your deck. From my experience people will just accept most of the things you present them and will believe them. No need to go to the lowest level there. But there will be a couple of topics where they want the deep dive and might challenge your takeaways. The pyramid principle helps to have slides prepared for the high level brush over it situations and the detailed discussion over one key point that your audience sees as most critical.

Beautiful video! Thank you for your value addition.

The video is clear, easy-to-follow, and actionable.

I normally don’t comment but this presentation was absolutely outstanding. Subscribing right now!!!

Fantastic!!!! Easy to understand and apply!!! Thank you very much!!!

Easy and clear! It reminds me of the book: Understand by Design 🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍💯💯💯

So simple and supremely well taught.

Exemplary: concise, clear, effective & inspiring. I will try to tweak my current approach to incorporate these structures! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for insightful content!! Keep going on a good work.

Love how he "trapped" us in this video under his SCQA genjutsu. I listen to this video again to ensure my just-completed slide deck meets with the SCQA and pyramid principle. Now i need to practice delivering the presentation with good narrative flow.

Fascinating insights! Thanks for shedding light on this crucial skill! 💯

Quite good, quality content. Thanks!

Brilliant breakdown of something I've seen many times from consultants, but couldn't ever figure out how they could get to so well. Thank you!

Hi Paul, thank you for this nice video. Very useful. A input from my end to yourself. The pyramid principle is also build up around the principle of Observations (at the bottom), Conclusion (second bottom) and Recommendations/Ideas (at top). Also I would argue that in the storyline you will put the SCQ first then the main idea and then the Supporting details "Conclusions". You can keep the Observations in appendix as supporting slide. Leaders are usually interested in conclusions and might ask to the details of the Conclusion, but not necessary interested in hearing them completely

Thanks Paul , I just shared the link with my daughter who's now a Biz analyst from Henley Business School. M sure this will be useful for her.

Thank you, Paul. This was insightful and easy to understand.

The framework SCQA sounds great for me, so, I'm going to implement in my presentations. Thanks for sharing.

This was really good and thanks for the inception moment. It all came full circle.

Thanks for this very easy to understand lesson.

This video and channel is AWESOME. Thank you!

Great and clear presentation. I intend to follow your advices.

I thought I was good at making PowerPoint presentations, but dam I was wrong. Then I watched this video. Today, I had to present in 5 minutes a research project to some of our company managers. I had 5 mins?! I thought how the hell am I going to get this done... But I did this, sent the material as pre-reading and hoped for the best. Today I had the presentation, and I think I nailed it. I didn't go overtime and I covered all the major points although I had to take some huge shortcuts. I still left the text and points there since I had sent the material to them, so they are then able to later check it again. Thanks for this guide, I will surely utilize this more in the future!

Thank you for helping me with an actionable slide set up for my upcoming PowerPoint presentation interview

Thank you for your sharing. The contents are inspiring and you present it clearly. Definitely want to try it out in my next presentation.

A good video. I learned both the main concepts over 25 years ago when I read Barbara Minto’s book “The Pyramid Principle”. I still refer to it if I’m struggling to structure a presentation, paper, letter, proposal.

Another point on SCQA: the SCQ/intro slides content has almost certainly been pre-agreed, at least implicitly. It's a defensive structure in a commercial setting, in effect making sure the the vendor's material defines the scope and sets the terms by which it should be judged.
