When making a storyboarding presentation, it is important to consider the various stages of the presentation. This includes the opening spill, the gist of the presentation and of course the concluding remarks to which the whole presentation was made in the first place. Now each sequence has a part that has to be emphasized on but in between the sequential parts of a storyboard presentation, icebreakers or question and answer (Q & A) portions can help ensure that the whole presentation does not purely rely on graphics and diagrams which may become totally boring if not handled properly.

(Source) After you end — a little early, ask if anyone has any questions. Because no matter how prepared you are or how smart you are, you still didn’t answer all their questions. This is also a great way to shorten your talk a little. Say you are slated for a 30-minute talk. You can present for 15 minutes and have 15 minutes of discussions. People are going to ask questions you never thought about adding to your speech. This will make your talk very well rounded.

When using the above 5 ideas, make sure your speech is fun — fun for you to give and fun to listen to. People will remember your talk (and your business) much better if it was a never-to-forget presentation!

For some, apprehensions towards the use like making the audience a participative part of the presentation may not be called for but it is a good thing to make sure that they are able to appreciate and understand the presentation as a whole. There is no better way to spice up strategic storyboarding other than to ensure that its innovative approach is participated on to similarly.
