MakeMyPoint is a training focusing on writing business decision making presentations for top management. 

Decision making materials typically go through 3 stages: 1. Thinking, 2. Producing, and 3. Presenting. MakeMyPoint focuses on the 1st stage: on how to create our structure, identify our messages, organise them into a solid flow to make a clear recommendation, and the art and science of visualising all this on slides or in text documents in an appealing way to support your argumentation. (Thus, we will not spend time on “PPT as a software”, nor on public speaking, but focus on collecting our thoughts and putting on paper, possibly in handwriting.) 

During this program people will learn:

• Importance of Synthesis (and what it is)
• The Executive Summary, and five alternative storylining tools to build up and crystallise our recommendation
  • Elevator pitch
  • Slide title copy-paste Storyboard
  • Logic tree
    • Top-down, hypothesis-driven and bottom-up thinking
    • MECE, Short-term memory, Ranking, and Less is more Mindmap
• Seven different slide types to reflect information hierarchy in our story
• The Agenda
• Content Checklist to ensure we are conceptually right

Utilising the mindset and practical concepts learnt at the training, participants can start writing more thought-through presentations in less time from Day 1 – while improving their self-confidence and work-life balance. Via these better-quality presentations, decision makers are also enabled to make more well-founded decisions in a shorter amount of time, thus, the company can react to challenges quicker and better. 

To guarantee the quality of the learning, the workshop will have a limited number of participants (12-14 people).
