Facilitation and

Presentation
Techniques

I. Oral Presentations
In many fields, the ability to communicate orally
is just as important as the ability to write well.
Studies show that people in management
positions rely more on oral communication than
on written communication.

A survey done among engineers showed that of


30 specific job-related tasks, 10 of the most
important were oral tasks, such as: project
proposal presentations, project progress report
presentations, etc.

Key points for a successful presentation:

1. Prepare properly.

2. Practice sufficiently.
3. Deliver your presentation with energy and
enthusiasm.

1. Preparation of Presentations
Begin by checking all the details you need to plan
your presentation, this includes:
The duration of the talk.

Whether time for questions is included.


The size and location of the room.
The projection/lighting facilities provided.

2. Content of Presentations
The content of the presentation has three main
elements: the introduction, the body of the
presentation and the conclusion. Ideally the time
spent is:
Introduction: What you will do (content), how you
will do it (structure) 10% - 20%.
Body 65%-80%.
Conclusion 10%-15%.

II. Facilitation skills


Facilitation means enabling members of a group to
take part in a process in an effective way. To be a
good facilitator of a multi-stakeholder or social
learning process requires time and experience, and
learning by doing is the best way. Skills in group
dynamics management, analysis and synthesis,
conflict resolution and the like are important.

FACILITATOR VS. LECTURER

A Facilitator is someone who helps a group of


people understand their common objectives and
assists them to plan to achieve them without
taking a particular position in the discussion.
A Lecturer is, in the broadest sense, a person who
gives lectures or other public speeches.
