Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations
Introduction
One concern about visual presentations is that the technology used to create them can be used in such a way that it actually detracts from the message rather than enhances it. To help you consider carefully how your message is presented so that it reflects care, quality, and professionalism, consider the information provided in the remaining slides.
NOTE: This presentation serves as an example in itself, by utilizing all of the guidelines mentioned.

Speaker Notes
The following topics will be covered:
Writing
Present ideas succinctly with lean prose.
Use short sentences.
Use active, rather than passive voice.
Avoid negative statements, if possible.
Avoid double negative entirely.
Check spelling and grammar.
Use consistent capitalization rules.
Organization
Develop a clear, strategic introduction to provide context for the presentation.
Develop an agenda or outline slide to provide a roadmap for the presentation.
Group relevant pieces of information together.
Integrate legends and keys with charts and tables.
Organize slides in logical order.
Present one concept or idea per slide.
Use only one conclusion slide to recap main ideas.
Audience
Present information at language level of intended audience.
Do not use jargon or field-specific language.
Follow the 70% rule—If it does not apply to 70% of your audience, present it to individuals at a different time.
Design

Keep layout and other features consistent.
Use the master slide design feature to ensure consistency.
Use consistent horizontal and vertical alignment of slide elements throughout the presentation.
Leave ample space around images and text.
Images
When applicable, enhance text-only slide content by developing relevant images for your presentation.
Do not use gratuitous graphics on each slide.
Use animations only when needed to enhance meaning. If selected, use them sparingly and consistently.
Bullets
Use bullets unless showing rank or sequence of items.
If possible, use no more than five bullet points and eight lines of text total per slide.
Tables
Use simple tables to show numbers, with no more than 4 rows x 4 columns.
Reserve more detailed tables for a written summary.
Font
Keep font size at 24 point or above for slide titles.
Keep font size at 18 or above for headings and explanatory text.
Use sans serif fonts such as Arial or Verdana.
Use ample contrast between backgrounds and text.
Speaker Notes

For this assessment, you will create an 8-9 slide PowerPoint presentation for one or
more stakeholder or leadership groups to generate interest and buy-in for the plan
proposal you developed for the third assessment.
Instructions
Please follow the Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX].
Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading
criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand
what is needed for a distinguished score.
● Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative
interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement
goal.
● Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an
organizational or patient issue.
● Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the
human and financial resources would be managed.
● Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree
to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.
● Communicate the PowerPoint presentation of the interdisciplinary
improvement plan to stakeholders in a professional manner, with writing
that is clear, logically organized, and respectful with correct grammar and
spelling using current APA style.
There are various ways to structure your presentation; following is one example:
● Part 1: Organizational or Patient Issue.
○ What is the issue that you are trying to solve or improve?
○ Why should the audience care about solving it?
● Part 2: Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team Approach.
○ Why is using an interdisciplinary team relevant, or the best
approach, to addressing the issue?
○ How will it help to achieve improved outcomes or reach a goal?
● Part 3: Interdisciplinary Plan Summary.
○ What is the objective?
○ How likely is it to work?
○ What will the interdisciplinary team do?
● Part 4: Implementation and Resource Management.
○ How could the plan be implemented to ensure effective use of
resources?
[https://campustools.capella.edu/redirect.aspx?linkid=3639](https://campustools.capella.edu/redirect.aspx?linkid=3639)
○ How could the plan be managed to ensure that resources were
not wasted?
○ How does the plan justify the resource expenditure?
● Part 5: Evaluation.
○ What would a successful outcome of the project look like?
○ What are the criteria that could be used to measure that
success?
■ How could this be used to show the degree of
success?
Again, keep in mind that your audience for this presentation is a specific group (or
groups) at your interviewee's organization and tailor your language and messaging
accordingly. Remember, also, that another person will ultimately be giving the
presentation. Include thorough speaker's notes that flesh out the bullet points on each
slide.
Competencies Measured
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in
the following course competencies and rubric criteria:
● Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial
resources to promote organizational health.
○ Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented
and how the human and financial resources would be
managed.
● Competency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to
achieve desired patient and systems outcomes.
○ Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a
collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help
achieve a specific improvement goal.
● Competency 3: Describe ways to incorporate evidence-based practice
within an interdisciplinary team.
○ Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to
address an organizational or patient issue.
○ Propose evidence-based criteria to evaluate the degree to
which the project was successful in achieving the improvement
goal.
● Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based
communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and
systems outcomes.
○ Slides are easy to read and error free. Detailed speaker notes
are provided.
○ Organize content with clear purpose /goals and with relevant
and evidence-based sources (published within 5 years) with an
APA formatted reference list with few errors.
Professional Context
This assessment will provide you with an opportunity to sharpen your ability to create a
professional presentation to stakeholders. In this presentation, you will explain the
Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle and how it can be used to introduce the plan (P), implement
the plan (D), study the effectiveness of the plan (S), and act on what is learned (A) to
drive continuous improvement. By using this cycle, the stakeholders will have a tool and
a proposal to expand on these ideas to drive workplace change and create improved
processes to solve an interprofessional collaboration problem.
Scenario
In addition to summarizing the key points of Assessments 2 and 3, you will provide
stakeholders and/or leadership with an overview of project specifics as well as how
success would be evaluated—you will essentially be presenting a discussion of the
Plan, Do, and Study parts of the PDSA cycle. Again, you will not be expected to execute
the project, so you will not have any results to study. However, by carefully examining
the ways in which your plan could be carried out and evaluated, you will get some of the
experience of the thinking required for PDSA.
When creating your PowerPoint for this assessment, it is important to keep in mind the
target audience: your interviewee's organizational leadership. The overall goal of this
assessment is to create a presentation that your interviewee could potentially give in his
or her organization.
Additional Requirements
● Number of slides: Plan on using one or two slides for each part of your
presentation as needed, so the content of your presentation will be 8–9
slides in length. Remember that slides should contain concise talking
points, and you will use presenter's notes to go into detail. Be sure to
include a reference slide as the last slide of your presentation.
● Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3 sources of scholarly or
professional evidence that support your central ideas. Resources should be
no more than five years old.
● APA formatting: Make sure that in-text citations on your slides and in your
notes pages and reference slide reflect current APA Style and Format.
