As you already know building a presentation should be approached in a methodological and well-planned
way.
This is the reason why in the next few lessons we would like to present a step by step framework that
would allow you to understand how presentations are usually created and which are the necessary things
that need to be taken care of throughout the workflow process.
First list all the sections that you plan to have in the Table of Contents and put the respective section
dividers slides in.
Have you seen what a section divider is so far.
Well that's a slide that makes it easy to understand that we are starting a new section in our presentation.
Usually it marks the new section with a picture and a section title.
If we take an investment banking pitch book as an example the section outline could look like this one
executive summary or introduction to credentials.
Three industry or market overview for Target Company Overview five preliminary valuation considerations
six process and deal structuring considerations seven next steps.
Each of these topics is important enough to merit its own section when structuring your document and
thinking which sections to include.
Try to come up with several sections that build up on top of each other.
Organize the sections you will add to your document in a logical order with appropriate names.
So in the example we provided here it wouldn't be optimal to start with preliminary evaluation considerations.
We should first introduce our audience to the relevant situation the company and its business right.
Okay excellent.
Selecting the most important or key topics organizing them in sections and ordering the sections in
a logical way.
This is step number one of our process.
