Agenda for the Day
9:30 - 11:00 AM Part 1: Introduction: Understanding Top Level Needs for Intelligence Delivery
Introductions and brief discussion on participants¡¯ expectations
The workshop starts by an introduction to deliverables. Why do we disseminate? What is communication flow and how do people capture messages? We will zoom in on the key ingredients of what makes a deliverable high-impact and compelling. Why do we use mostly powerpoint and what are the alternatives? When and how should we use these? What is the role of creativity?
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM Part 2: Offline Deliverables
Offline is old fashioned, or is it? There are still plenty of reasons why decision makers prefer hard over electronic. Besides white papers and printed newsletters, there are plenty of other important offline deliverables, like factsheets, infographics, heatmaps, battle cards and more. How to use these, why and for whom? Also powerpoint can be a good offline delivery tool, if used properly. We will tell you what to do, with tips, tricks, some creative writing, and visualization techniques.
1:00 - 2:00 PM Networking Lunch
2:00 – 3:30 PM Part 3: Live Communications
The master class continues with a focus on live communications. What to do when you need to share your findings 1 on 1 with a top executive. How much time do you have? Is it 60 seconds or a formal discussion? How do you deliver for the best impact? What are the 7 rules for persuading messages? Then we look at the most important aspects of preparing a high-impact presentation for the audience. What do you need to do to make this as compelling as possible? How can you use storytelling in the best way? We also will touch on workshops as MI deliverables.
4:00 – 5:30 PM Part 4: Web 2.0 as Delivery Form
Social media is more used than any other form of modern communication. Dissemination by using web 2.0 techniques is becoming more and more important. We will discuss the usage of portals and dashboards as delivery tools, but also how to use audio, video and webinars. Especially giving a presentation via a webcam requires some special skills and techniques.
