ABSTRACT
A presentation should begin with a basic question, move through a description of findings within a framework, and end with a set of specific conclusions (see Step 49). Graphical material should be prepared following the guidance in Steps 50 through 52. The main focus of your presentation should be to answer specific questions that will aid decision-making and it should consist of:
A set or slides organised around your story.
A graphical motif or outline slide to keep your audience focused on the story.
Figure 1 illustrates a presentation of analysis findings. The presenter, Sergeant Smith, has two goals. The first is to answer the question, 'What causes this problem?' The second is to open up a discussion of possible responses. The title slide asks the question (and introduces the presenter). This and Slides 2 to 4 constitute the introduction. Slide 2 reinforces i set of already agreed points that serve as a foundation for what follows. Slide 3 outlines the presentation. And Slide 4 summarises data collection.
