What is Lean Presentations?

Lean Presentations is a card from the Team Tactics deck by Pip Decks.

“The success of your presentation will be judged not by the knowledge you send, but by what the listener receives.”, Lilly Walters

Works well with Write In Plain English.

Draw a triangle with the main point you’d like to get across written in the middle.
Divide your presentation into three sections, such as:
- What won’t change; What can change; What will change.
- Where we’ve been; Where we are now; Where we’re going.
- Analysis; Diagnosis; Actions.
- Problem; Solution; Next steps.
- Past; Present; Future.
Write the main points for each section on sticky notes. This helps you to see the flow of your argument, spot repetition and easily move things around.
Create your presentation:
- Make your words short, big and clear.
- Make your pictures relevant, big and clear.
- Don’t have too many colours or fonts.
- Practise a lot, and be yourself.
