p cubed

p cubed describes the overall value of a presentation as the product of the three parts; message (p1), media(p2) and delivery(p3). Each has value. Importantly, this value is in the opinion of individual audience members, not the presenter. This is qualitative, not quantitative.

mathematical equation detailing the value of a presentation as the product of p1 x p2 x p3 = p cubed

p cubed framework

A presentation is made of three component parts; the story (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. This section deals with the p cubed value, the product of preparation, design, and delivery.
