Brilliant summary of how to present a persuasive argument in favour of a specific approach. Would work just as well for emails, memos, etc. And every part of it can be expanded to more detail if needed.

There are two important lessons here - the obvious one is the structure. The less obvious is that the slides say the minimum necessary to get the point across. Everything else is in what you say or in backup documents (not backup slides!). I used to work for IBM and a typical slide deck there was fifty slides each with the equivalent of half a page or more of a document.
