PHARMAS GUIDELINES FOR A POWERFUL POWER POINT COMPANY PRESENTATION

 

Suggested Topics to Cover In Your Company Presentation

  • Corporate Presentation (offices, major figures…).
  • Positioning, targeted markets, and distribution channels.
  • Type of partnership your company is looking for (co-development, collaborative research, collaborative sales campaign…).
  • In/out licensing strategy: What kind of technology is your company searching for, and what kind of technology does your company sell?
  • Track record: past agreements, business-development history related to biotechnologies. 
  • State of the product portfolio: number of products for each phase and the technologies they still miss.  What are the links between the molecule portfolio and the business-development contracts they would like to sign? 
  • How is a business development agreement set up?
  • What are you not looking for?


Presentation Tactics:

1. After introducing yourself and your company; briefly state your companies short and long term goals.
2. At the end of the presentation briefly restate your company goals.

Consider the following criteria when putting together your presentation:


Introduction:

  • Include a greeting and an introduction of yourself and your topic.
  • Use an introduction which involves the audience and is related to the content to get the audience interested.
  • Use a personal message e.g. begin with an anecdote, current news/events, newspaper article)


Main topic:

  • Follow a logical sequence.
  • Maintain a fluent pace.
  • Be enthusiastic
  • If you are using PowerPoint slides, elaborate on brief points instead of reading lengthy text off each slide.
  • Our recommendation is to use one slide per minute of presentation.
  • Involve your audience in a meaningful way, allowing time for them to think and respond


Conclusion:

  • Logically conclude the presentation
  • Rehearse several times.

Some recommendations for clear PowerPoint Slides

  • Visuals should only support or extend the oral component of your presentation.
  • Use key words but avoid fully written sentences
  • Slides must be well-constructed: use only one topic per slide
  • Limit your text to about 50 words per slide
  • Choose a font that is easy to read (no smaller than 32p)
  • Have good contrast between background and font colour
  • Avoid clutter
  • Do NOT use too many pictures!
  • Spell check your presentation
  • Test your presentation (on screen, for speed, etc.)
