Presentation ideas

[TrickyBob]

I am working on a huge project for my company, one that could be used for years to come - if it goes well. 

I need to present this idea to the rest of the company (small and generally informal).  

Do I include every single detail of the idea or the over all general idea? Do I put it together like a report with various pages? Or do I do something else? I know this all sounds like it should be simple but I want them to love it and approve it. And I've never put together anything to be presented beyond school reports. 

I just need to WOW them.

Is it a Powerpoint presentation?

If so, the simpler, the better. Slides with multiple lines of 10-20 words overwhelm and bore people. Keep it simple. Maybe create a wiki that people can access later for more details?

Are you giving a talk or just sending materials?

If the former, your PowerPoint should just state the basics, and you do a voiceover of specifics.

If the latter, include all relevant details.

The presentations I have done are usually high level with an overview of the project. Handouts that drill down to the details are provided prior to the presentation so they can reference as we present.
A Q&A session after the meeting is documented and the questions and answers are sent out after with a thank you and contact info if they wish to continue the discussion.

I was going to talk, since it conveys the idea better. Power point is a good idea, I didn't think of that!
