Course Outline

Creating and Presenting Relevant Content: Knowing Your Audience

It is essential to create content that is relevant to your target audience. You must tailor your content to address/solve a critical business issue(s) that is relevant to your target audience. In this exercise, using IGs “Content Builder,” you will develop content that addresses previous and current business issue(s), providing a clear solution(s) that directly and positively impacts your target audience.

Presenting to a Non-Technical Audience

It’s easy for a non-technical audience to be overwhelmed by a technical presentation. In this exercise, using IG “Technical Storyboard,” you will create and deliver technical content to a non-technical audience.

Presenting the Data

Data is often the most important aspect of a technical presentation. Your data is likely the basis of your reasoning, calculations, and recommendations. It is essential that a non-technical audience clearly understand the data source(s) and the integrity of that data. Utilizing IGs “Data Tool,” you will clearly explain your analysis of your data and how that data has led to your conclusion(s) and recommendation(s).

Defending Your Data

In this exercise, you will dramatically enhance your ability to effectively respond to questions or statements which challenge the accuracy or reliability of your data – – – in a calm, clear, and effective manner. In this exercise, you will develop several responses to potential questions or statements which challenge the accuracy or reliability of your data.

Responding to Questions

In this exercise, you will be introduced to critical techniques which will enable you to enhance your ability to handle overtly challenging, passive-aggressive, off-topic, ambiguous, and/or repetitive questions. At the conclusion of this exercise, you will have dramatically improved your ability to effectively respond to any question without being evasive, displaying hostility, or losing control of the discussion
