Wondering how to get started when first designing a presentation or training class?  This April 4, 2011 Bob Pike blog post by Marc Ratcliffe, “Seven Steps to Knowledge Transfer,” briefly describes “seven easy steps for success when session planning.”   The seven steps are:

1. Objective
2. Content
3. Sequence
4. Delivery
5. Time
6. Resources
7. Assessment

Filling out a spreadsheet with each step as a column header could be useful before you begin creating that first PowerPoint slide!
