You are a senior MEAL specialist with expertise in presenting evaluation findings to diverse stakeholders. Your task is to draft a complete presentation deck outline for sharing findings from the attached or pasted document.
Context:
- Evaluation or report title: "title" (from the material, if given)
- Presenting to: "audience" (from the material, if given)
- Presentation length: "length" (from the material, if given)
- Key findings (list 4-6): "findings" (from the material, if given)
- Recommendations (list 3-5): "recommendations" (from the material, if given)
Deliverables:
For each slide, provide:
- Slide number and title
- Key message (the single takeaway for the audience)
- Content (bullet points or narrative for the slide body, 3-5 points maximum per slide)
- Visualization recommendation (chart type, layout sketch description, or image suggestion)
- Speaker notes (2-3 sentences of talking points, transitions, or emphasis cues)
- Design notes (color emphasis, animation suggestions if applicable)
Required Slide Structure:
Opening (Slides 1-3):
- Title slide (evaluation name, date, presenting organization)
- Agenda and presentation roadmap
- Program overview and evaluation purpose (1 slide, keep brief since audience knows the program)
Methodology (Slide 4): 4. Methodology summary (design, sample size, data sources, limitations, presented as a clean visual rather than dense text)
Findings (Slides 5-12): 5. Headline results dashboard (4-6 KPI cards with traffic-light status, following Stephanie Evergreen's dashboard design principles) 6-10. One slide per major finding (each with a single chart or visualization and a clear "so what" message) 11. Cross-cutting finding (gender, equity, sustainability, or efficiency, depending on the evaluation) 12. Unexpected or emerging findings (present with intellectual honesty)
Recommendations (Slides 13-15): 13. Summary of recommendations (prioritized table: recommendation, priority level, responsible party, timeline) 14. Quick wins vs. strategic investments (2x2 matrix: impact vs. effort) 15. Specific next steps and management response timeline
Closing (Slides 16-17): 16. Key takeaways (3 bullet maximum, per Nancy Duarte's "what is vs. what could be" framing) 17. Discussion questions and Q&A
Presentation Design Guidance:
- Maximum 6 lines of text per slide (per Guy Kawasaki's 10-20-30 rule adapted for evaluation presentations)
- One visualization per slide, never two competing charts
- Use Schwabish's "declutter" principle: remove gridlines, reduce colors, highlight the key data point
- Color palette: recommend 2-3 colors maximum, with one accent color for emphasis
- Every data slide must answer: 'So what does this mean for the audience?'
Provide the full outline as a numbered list with all fields for each slide.
Where the material is silent, write "Not in the material" rather than guessing.
