This is Show time! It is the presenter's opportunity to convey information, ideas, and propositions. It is the audience’s time to sound out the speaker with friendly or nasty questions or comments presumable aimed at clarifying information, resolving uncertainties, and sizing up the speaker’s ideas and credibility

The stars in any field know what they are doing and why and how. Executives, financial analysts and techies have this characteristic in common with top golfers and Tiger Woods and Michelle Kwan. They achieve results by applying proven techniques to whatever problem they tackle.

One of the key factors that distinguish the cool, efficient professional who gets results from the duffers who stumble around and rarely gets anything done is this knowledge of process. The same proven procedure that professionals use in tackling any project can be applied beneficially to the development of presentations. This methodical, 6 steps approach can lead to better presentations, produced more efficiently. Here are the six steps:

1) Plan

This is the market analysis, fundamental thinking-through phase, asking "What do i want to get out of this presentation? How might that best be done?" the audience is identified, its interest are examined, themes and strategies are being developed

2) Organize

This develops the framework, the skeleton of the package. The key ideas are identified and arranged in a clear, concise and convincing manner.

3) Support

This adds the meat to the organizational skeleton. Material is developed to back up, illustrate, and clarify the positions and claims set forth. Visual aids - or today's common term - graphics are shaped into punchy, effective tolls of communication.

4) Stage

The goal is to head off the relentless power of Murphy's Law: Whatever can go wrong, will. Leaving nothing to chance, the presenter identifies facilities, equipment, and schedules. Before heading off to the actual event, the wise presenter tests the product.
