p cubed framework

A presentation is made of three component parts; the message (p1), the supportive media (p2) and the delivery of these (p3). The value of a presentation is the product of these three factors, the p cubed value.

The three components are discussed in more depth in their individual sections. Please check them out. This section deals with the p cubed value, the product of preparation, design, and delivery.
