  • Your goal: What do you want your audience to do with the information you give them? NOT just “understand.”

  • Zoom in/Zoom out: What do they already know about your topic?

  • Buy-in: Why will they care about your topic/challenge? What challenges are they facing that you solve? Hint— Think Enterprise.

  • Current view: What do they think about your topic/challenge? What solution/lack thereof do they see?

  • Broken status quo: What is the cost of doing nothing/inaction? What is the urgency to change?

  • Objections/curiosities: What questions will they want answered?
