presentation on results

Chapter Seven: Presenting Your Results

This chapter serves as the culmination of the previous chapters, in that it focuses on how to present the results of one's study, regardless of the choice made among the three methods. Writing in academics has a form and style that you will want to apply not only to report your own research, but also to enhance your skills at reading original research published in academic journals. Beyond the basic academic style of report writing, there are specific, often unwritten assumptions about how quantitative, qualitative, and critical/rhetorical studies should be organized and the information they should contain. This chapter discusses how to present your results in writing, how to write accessibly, how to visualize data, and how to present your results in person.

Written Presentation of Results

Once you've gone through the process of doing communication research – using a quantitative, qualitative, or critical/rhetorical methodological approach – the final step is to communicate it.

The major style manuals (the APA Manual, the MLA Handbook, and Turabian) are very helpful in documenting the structure of writing a study, and are highly recommended for consultation. But, no matter what style manual you may use, there are some common elements to the structure of an academic communication research paper.

Title Page :

This is simple: Your Paper's Title, Your Name, Your Institutional Affiliation (e.g., University), and the Date, each on separate lines, centered on the page. Try to make your title both descriptive (i.e., it gives the reader an idea what the study is about) and interesting (i.e., it is catchy enough to get one's attention).

For example, the title, "The uncritical idealization of a compensated psychopath character in a popular book series," would not be an inaccurate title for a published study, but it is rather vague and exceedingly boring. That study's author fortunately chose the title, "A boyfriend to die for: Edward Cullen as compensated psychopath in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight ," which is more precisely descriptive, and much more interesting (Merskin, 2011). The use of the colon in academic titles can help authors accomplish both objectives: a catchy but relevant phrase, followed by a more clear explanation of the article's topic.

In some instances, you might be asked to write an abstract, which is a summary of your paper that can range in length from 75 to 250 words. If it is a published paper, it is useful to include key search terms in this brief description of the paper (the title may already have a few of these terms as well). Although this may be the last thing your write, make it one of the best things you write, because this may be the first thing your audience reads about the paper (and may be the only thing read if it is written badly). Summarize the problem/research question, your methodological approach, your results and conclusions, and the significance of the paper in the abstract.

Quantitative and qualitative studies will most typically use the rest of the section titles noted below. Critical/rhetorical studies will include many of the same steps, but will often have different headings. For example, a critical/rhetorical paper will have an introduction, definition of terms, and literature review, followed by an analysis (often divided into sections by areas of investigation) and ending with a conclusion/implications section. Because critical/rhetorical research is much more descriptive, the subheadings in such a paper are often times not generic subheads like "literature review," but instead descriptive subheadings that apply to the topic at hand, as seen in the schematic below. Because many journals expect the article to follow typical research paper headings of introduction, literature review, methods, results, and discussion, we discuss these sections briefly next.

Introduction:

As you read social scientific journals (see chapter 1 for examples), you will find that they tend to get into the research question quickly and succinctly. Journal articles from the humanities tradition tend to be more descriptive in the introduction. But, in either case, it is good to begin with some kind of brief anecdote that gets the reader engaged in your work and lets the reader understand why this is an interesting topic. From that point, state your research question, define the problem (see Chapter One) with an overview of what we do and don't know, and finally state what you will do, or what you want to find out. The introduction thus builds the case for your topic, and is the beginning of building your argument, as we noted in chapter 1.

By the end of the Introduction, the reader should know what your topic is, why it is a significant communication topic, and why it is necessary that you investigate it (e.g., it could be there is gap in literature, you will conduct valuable exploratory research, or you will provide a new model for solving some professional or social problem).

Literature Review:

The literature review summarizes and organizes the relevant books, articles, and other research in this area. It sets up both quantitative and qualitative studies, showing the need for the study. For critical/rhetorical research, the literature review often incorporates the description of the historical context and heuristic vocabulary, with key terms defined in this section of the paper. For more detail on writing a literature review, see Appendix 1.

The methods of your paper are the processes that govern your research, where the researcher explains what s/he did to solve the problem. As you have seen throughout this book, in communication studies, there are a number of different types of research methods. For example, in quantitative research, one might conduct surveys, experiments, or content analysis. In qualitative research, one might instead use interviews and observations. Critical/rhetorical studies methods are more about the interpretation of texts or the study of popular culture as communication. In creative communication research, the method may be an interpretive performance studies or filmmaking. Other methods used sometimes alone, or in combination with other methods, include legal research, historical research, and political economy research.

In quantitative and qualitative research papers, the methods will be most likely described according to the APA manual standards. At the very least, the methods will include a description of participants, data collection, and data analysis, with specific details on each of these elements. For example, in an experiment, the researcher will describe the number of participants, the materials used, the design of the experiment, the procedure of the experiment, and what statistics will be used to address the hypotheses/research questions.

Critical/rhetorical researchers rarely have a specific section called "methods," as opposed to quantitative and qualitative researchers, but rather demonstrate the method they use for analysis throughout the writing of their piece.

Helping your reader understand the methods you used for your study is important not only for your own study's credibility, but also for possible replication of your study by other researchers. A good guideline to keep in mind is transparency . You want to be as clear as possible in describing the decisions you made in designing your study, gathering and analyzing your data so that the reader can retrace your steps and understand how you came to the conclusions you formed. A research study can be very good, but if it is not clearly described so that others can see how the results were determined or obtained, then the quality of the study and its potential contributions are lost.

After you completed your study, your findings will be listed in the results section. Particularly in a quantitative study, the results section is for revisiting your hypotheses and reporting whether or not your results supported them, and the statistical significance of the results. Whether your study supported or contradicted your hypotheses, it's always helpful to fully report what your results were. The researcher usually organizes the results of his/her results section by research question or hypothesis, stating the results for each one, using statistics to show how the research question or hypothesis was answered in the study.

The qualitative results section also may be organized by research question, but usually is organized by themes which emerged from the data collected. The researcher provides rich details from her/his observations and interviews, with detailed quotations provided to illustrate the themes identified. Sometimes the results section is combined with the discussion section.

Critical/rhetorical researchers would include their analysis often with different subheadings in what would be considered a "results" section, yet not labeled specifically this way.

Discussion:

In the discussion section, the researcher gives an appraisal of the results. Here is where the researcher considers the results, particularly in light of the literature review, and explains what the findings mean. If the results confirmed or corresponded with the findings of other literature, then that should be stated. If the results didn't support the findings of previous studies, then the researcher should develop an explanation of why the study turned out this way. Sometimes, this section is called a "conclusion" by researchers.

References:

In this section, all of the literature cited in the text should have full references in alphabetical order. Appendices: Appendix material includes items like questionnaires used in the study, photographs, documents, etc. An alphabetical letter is assigned for each piece (e.g. Appendix A, Appendix B), with a second line of title describing what the appendix contains (e.g. Participant Informed Consent, or New York Times Speech Coverage). They should be organized consistently with the order in which they are referenced in the text of the paper. The page numbers for appendices are consecutive with the paper and reference list.

Tables/Figures:

Tables and figures are referenced in the text, but included at the end of the study and numbered consecutively. (Check with your professor; some like to have tables and figures inserted within the paper's main text.) Tables generally are data in a table format, whereas figures are diagrams (such as a pie chart) and drawings (such as a flow chart).

Accessible Writing

As you may have noticed, academic writing does have a language (e.g., words like heuristic vocabulary and hypotheses) and style (e.g., literature reviews) all its own. It is important to engage in that language and style, and understand how to use it to communicate effectively in an academic context . Yet, it is also important to remember that your analyses and findings should also be written to be accessible. Writers should avoid excessive jargon, or—even worse—deploying jargon to mask an incomplete understanding of a topic.

The scourge of excessive jargon in academic writing was the target of a famous hoax in 1996. A New York University physics professor submitted an article, " Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity ," to a special issue of the academic journal Social Text devoted to science and postmodernism. The article was designed to point out how dense academic jargon can sometimes mask sloppy thinking. As the professor, Alan Sokal, had expected, the article was published. One sample sentence from the article reads:

It has thus become increasingly apparent that physical "reality", no less than social "reality", is at bottom a social and linguistic construct; that scientific "knowledge", far from being objective, reflects and encodes the dominant ideologies and power relations of the culture that produced it; that the truth claims of science are inherently theory-laden and self-referential; and consequently, that the discourse of the scientific community, for all its undeniable value, cannot assert a privileged epistemological status with respect to counter-hegemonic narratives emanating from dissident or marginalized communities. (Sokal, 1996. pp. 217-218)

According to the journal's editor, about six reviewers had read the article but didn't suspect that it was phony. A public debate ensued after Sokal revealed his hoax. Sokal said he worried that jargon and intellectual fads cause academics to lose contact with the real world and "undermine the prospect for progressive social critique" ( Scott, 1996 ). The APA Manual recommends to avoid using technical vocabulary where it is not needed or relevant or if the technical language is overused, thus becoming jargon. In short, the APA argues that "scientific jargon...grates on the reader, encumbers the communication of information, and wastes space" (American Psychological Association, 2010, p. 68).

Data Visualization

Images and words have long existed on the printed page of manuscripts, yet, until recently, relatively few researchers possessed the resources to effectively combine images combined with words (Tufte, 1990, 1983). Communication scholars are only now becoming aware of this dimension in research as computer technologies have made it possible for many people to produce and publish multimedia presentations.

Although visuals may seem to be anathema to the primacy of the written word in research, they are a legitimate way, and at times the best way, to present ideas. Visual scholar Lester Faigley et al. (2004) explains how data visualizations have become part of our daily lives:

Visualizations can shed light on research as well. London-based David McCandless specializes in visualizing interesting research questions, or in his words "the questions I wanted answering" (2009, p. 7). His images include a graph of the peak times of the year for breakups (based on Facebook status updates), a radiation dosage chart , and some experiments with the Google Ngram Viewer , which charts the appearance of keywords in millions of books over hundreds of years.

The public domain image below creatively maps U.S. Census data of the outflow of people from California to other states between 1995 and 2000.

Visualizing one's research is possible in multiple ways. A simple technology, for example, is to enter data into a spreadsheet such as Excel, and select Charts or SmartArt to generate graphics. A number of free web tools can also transform raw data into useful charts and graphs. Many Eyes , an open source data visualization tool (sponsored by IBM Research), says its goal "is to 'democratize' visualization and to enable a new social kind of data analysis" (IBM, 2011). Another tool, Soundslides , enables users to import images and audio to create a photographic slideshow, while the program handles all of the background code. Other tools, often open source and free, can help visual academic research into interactive maps; interactive, image-based timelines; interactive charts; and simple 2-D and 3-D animations. Adobe Creative Suite (which includes popular software like Photoshop) is available on most computers at universities, but open source alternatives exist as well. Gimp is comparable to Photoshop, and it is free and relatively easy to use.

One online performance studies journal, Liminalities , is an excellent example of how "research" can be more than just printed words. In each issue, traditional academic essays and book reviews are often supported photographs, while other parts of an issue can include video, audio, and multimedia contributions. The journal, founded in 2005, treats performance itself as a methodology, and accepts contribution in html, mp3, Quicktime, and Flash formats.

For communication researchers, there is also a vast array of visual digital archives available online. Many of these archives are located at colleges and universities around the world, where digital librarians are spearheading a massive effort to make information—print, audio, visual, and graphic—available to the public as part of a global information commons. For example, the University of Iowa has a considerable digital archive including historical photos documenting American railroads and a database of images related to geoscience. The University of Northern Iowa has a growing Special Collections Unit that includes digital images of every UNI Yearbook between 1905 and 1923 and audio files of UNI jazz band performances. Researchers at he University of Michigan developed OAIster , a rich database that has joined thousands of digital archives in one searchable interface. Indeed, virtually every academic library is now digitizing all types of media, not just texts, and making them available for public viewing and, when possible, for use in presenting research. In addition to academic collections, the Library of Congress and the National Archives offer an ever-expanding range of downloadable media; commercial, user-generated databases such as Flickr, Buzznet, YouTube and Google Video offer a rich resource of images that are often free of copyright constraints (see Chapter 3 about Creative Commons licenses) and nonprofit endeavors, such as the Internet Archive , contain a formidable collection of moving images, still photographs, audio files (including concert recordings), and open source software.

Presenting your Work in Person

As Communication students, it's expected that you are not only able to communicate your research project in written form but also in person.

Before you do any oral presentation, it's good to have a brief "pitch" ready for anyone who asks you about your research. The pitch is routine in Hollywood: a screenwriter has just a few minutes to present an idea to a producer. Although your pitch will be more sophisticated than, say, " Snakes on a Plane " (which unfortunately was made into a movie), you should in just a few lines be able to explain the gist of your research to anyone who asks. Developing this concise description, you will have some practice in distilling what might be a complicated topic into one others can quickly grasp.

Oral presentation

In most oral presentations of research, whether at the end of a semester, or at a research symposium or conference, you will likely have just 10 to 20 minutes. This is probably not enough time to read the entire paper aloud, which is not what you should do anyway if you want people to really listen (although, unfortunately some make this mistake). Instead, the point of the presentation should be to present your research in an interesting manner so the listeners will want to read the whole thing. In the presentation, spend the least amount of time on the literature review (a very brief summary will suffice) and the most on your own original contribution. In fact, you may tell your audience that you are only presenting on one portion of the paper, and that you would be happy to talk more about your research and findings in the question and answer session that typically follows. Consider your presentation the beginning of a dialogue between you and the audience. Your tone shouldn't be "I have found everything important there is to find, and I will cram as much as I can into this presentation," but instead "I found some things you will find interesting, but I realize there is more to find."

Turabian (2007) has a helpful chapter on presenting research. Most important, she emphasizes, is to remember that your audience members are listeners, not readers. Thus, recall the lessons on speech making in your college oral communication class. Give an introduction, tell them what the problem is, and map out what you will present to them. Organize your findings into a few points, and don't get bogged down in minutiae. (The minutiae are for readers to find if they wish, not for listeners to struggle through.) PowerPoint slides are acceptable, but don't read them. Instead, create an outline of a few main points, and practice your presentation.

Turabian suggests an introduction of not more than three minutes, which should include these elements:

The research topic you will address (not more than a minute).
Your research question (30 seconds or less)
An answer to "so what?" – explaining the relevance of your research (30 seconds)
Your claim, or argument (30 seconds or less)
The map of your presentation structure (30 seconds or less)

As Turabian (2007) suggests, "Rehearse your introduction, not only to get it right, but to be able to look your audience in the eye as you give it. You can look down at notes later" (p. 125).

Poster presentation

In some symposiums and conferences, you may be asked to present at a "poster" session. Instead of presenting on a panel of 4-5 people to an audience, a poster presenter is with others in a large hall or room, and talks one-on-one with visitors who look at the visual poster display of the research. As in an oral presentation, a poster highlights just the main point of the paper. Then, if visitors have questions, the author can informally discuss her/his findings.

To attract attention, poster presentations need to be nicely designed, or in the words of an advertising professor who schedules poster sessions at conferences, "be big, bold, and brief" ( Broyles , 2011). Large type (at least 18 pt.), graphics, tables, and photos are recommended.

The Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) has a template for making an effective poster presentation . Many universities, copy shops, and Internet services also have large-scale printers, to print full-color research poster designs that can be rolled up and transported in a tube.

Judging Others' Research

After taking this course, you should have a basic knowledge of research methods. There will still be some things that may mystify you as a reader of other's research. For example, you may not be able to interpret the coefficients for statistical significance, or make sense of a complex structural equation. Some specialized vocabulary may still be difficult.

But, you should understand how to critically review research. For example, imagine you have been asked to do a blind (i.e., the author's identity is concealed) "peer review" of communication research for acceptance to a conference, or publication in an academic journal. For most conferences and journals , submissions are made online, where editors can manage the flow and assign reviews to papers. The evaluations reviewers make are based on the same things that we have covered in this book. For example, the conference for the AEJMC ask reviewers to consider (on a five-point scale, from Excellent to Poor) a number of familiar research dimensions, including the paper's clarity of purpose, literature review, clarity of research method, appropriateness of research method, evidence presented clearly, evidence supportive of conclusions, general writing and organization, and the significance of the contribution to the field.

Beyond academia, it is likely you will more frequently apply the lessons of research methods as a critical consumer of news, politics, and everyday life. Just because some expert cites a number or presents a conclusion doesn't mean it's automatically true. John Allen Paulos, in his book A Mathematician reads the newspaper , suggests some basic questions we can ask. "If statistics were presented, how were they obtained? How confident can we be of them? Were they derived from a random sample or from a collection of anecdotes? Does the correlation suggest a causal relationship, or is it merely a coincidence?" (1997, p. 201).

Through the study of research methods, we have begun to build a critical vocabulary and understanding to ask good questions when others present "knowledge." For example, if Candidate X won a straw poll in Iowa, does that mean she'll get her party's nomination? If Candidate Y wins an open primary in New Hampshire, does that mean he'll be the next president? If Candidate Z sheds a tear, does it matter what the context is, or whether that candidate is a man or a woman? What we learn in research methods about validity, reliability, sampling, variables, research participants, epistemology, grounded theory, and rhetoric, we can consider whether the "knowledge" that is presented in the news is a verifiable fact, a sound argument, or just conjecture.

How to Make a Successful Research Presentation

Turning a research paper into a visual presentation is difficult; there are pitfalls, and navigating the path to a brief, informative presentation takes time and practice. As a TA for GEO/WRI 201: Methods in Data Analysis & Scientific Writing this past fall, I saw how this process works from an instructor’s standpoint. I’ve presented my own research before, but helping others present theirs taught me a bit more about the process. Here are some tips I learned that may help you with your next research presentation:

More is more

In general, your presentation will always benefit from more practice, more feedback, and more revision. By practicing in front of friends, you can get comfortable with presenting your work while receiving feedback. It is hard to know how to revise your presentation if you never practice. If you are presenting to a general audience, getting feedback from someone outside of your discipline is crucial. Terms and ideas that seem intuitive to you may be completely foreign to someone else, and your well-crafted presentation could fall flat.

Less is more

Limit the scope of your presentation, the number of slides, and the text on each slide. In my experience, text works well for organizing slides, orienting the audience to key terms, and annotating important figures–not for explaining complex ideas. Having fewer slides is usually better as well. In general, about one slide per minute of presentation is an appropriate budget. Too many slides is usually a sign that your topic is too broad.

Limit the scope of your presentation

Don’t present your paper. Presentations are usually around 10 min long. You will not have time to explain all of the research you did in a semester (or a year!) in such a short span of time. Instead, focus on the highlight(s). Identify a single compelling research question which your work addressed, and craft a succinct but complete narrative around it.

You will not have time to explain all of the research you did. Instead, focus on the highlights. Identify a single compelling research question which your work addressed, and craft a succinct but complete narrative around it.

Craft a compelling research narrative

After identifying the focused research question, walk your audience through your research as if it were a story. Presentations with strong narrative arcs are clear, captivating, and compelling.

Introduction (exposition — rising action)

Orient the audience and draw them in by demonstrating the relevance and importance of your research story with strong global motive. Provide them with the necessary vocabulary and background knowledge to understand the plot of your story. Introduce the key studies (characters) relevant in your story and build tension and conflict with scholarly and data motive. By the end of your introduction, your audience should clearly understand your research question and be dying to know how you resolve the tension built through motive.

Methods (rising action)

The methods section should transition smoothly and logically from the introduction. Beware of presenting your methods in a boring, arc-killing, ‘this is what I did.’ Focus on the details that set your story apart from the stories other people have already told. Keep the audience interested by clearly motivating your decisions based on your original research question or the tension built in your introduction.

Results (climax)

Less is usually more here. Only present results which are clearly related to the focused research question you are presenting. Make sure you explain the results clearly so that your audience understands what your research found. This is the peak of tension in your narrative arc, so don’t undercut it by quickly clicking through to your discussion.

Discussion (falling action)

By now your audience should be dying for a satisfying resolution. Here is where you contextualize your results and begin resolving the tension between past research. Be thorough. If you have too many conflicts left unresolved, or you don’t have enough time to present all of the resolutions, you probably need to further narrow the scope of your presentation.

Conclusion (denouement)

Return back to your initial research question and motive, resolving any final conflicts and tying up loose ends. Leave the audience with a clear resolution of your focus research question, and use unresolved tension to set up potential sequels (i.e. further research).

Use your medium to enhance the narrative

Visual presentations should be dominated by clear, intentional graphics. Subtle animation in key moments (usually during the results or discussion) can add drama to the narrative arc and make conflict resolutions more satisfying. You are narrating a story written in images, videos, cartoons, and graphs. While your paper is mostly text, with graphics to highlight crucial points, your slides should be the opposite. Adapting to the new medium may require you to create or acquire far more graphics than you included in your paper, but it is necessary to create an engaging presentation.

The most important thing you can do for your presentation is to practice and revise. Bother your friends, your roommates, TAs–anybody who will sit down and listen to your work. Beyond that, think about presentations you have found compelling and try to incorporate some of those elements into your own. Remember you want your work to be comprehensible; you aren’t creating experts in 10 minutes. Above all, try to stay passionate about what you did and why. You put the time in, so show your audience that it’s worth it.

Why you should turn survey results into a presentation

Choose the best data to share, tell a story, adhere to common design rules, create an additional report, turn survey results into a presentation with jotform report builder, how jotform can make surveys easy, how to present your survey results.

You’ve launched your survey . The results are in. Now it’s time to make sense of them.

Creating a survey results presentation is one of the best ways to analyze your results and present them to stakeholders in a format that makes them clear and understandable.

It’s not as simple as copying and pasting everything into a PowerPoint presentation, though. Here’s how you can create an awesome survey results presentation.

Not everyone is going to be willing to sift through all your survey responses and tease out the relevant findings. That’s why you need to succinctly summarize those findings and make them digestible for everyone. A survey results presentation is the perfect tool.

How to create a survey results presentation: Best practices

Before you rush to turn your responses into a presentation, take the time to acquaint yourself with the following best practices.

Not every insight you collect from your survey is going to be relevant to your target audience for a presentation, so be sure to

Narrow down your dataset to include only information that pertains to your audience’s interests
Think about what you want your audience to take away from your presentation. For example, do you want to show engagement? Changing consumer opinions? Market trends?
Choose your data accordingly

If you really want to capture your audience’s attention, tell a story with your presentation. You can do this by

Explaining what the findings mean and why your audience should care, rather than just showing the raw data
Showing how the results connect with the business’s goals and mission
Using specific examples can make your presentations much more powerful, writes corporate trainer Dana Brownlee

There are several design best practices you should follow, writes Shonna Waters, Ph.D. , vice president of strategic alliances and partnerships at professional coaching platform BetterUp. These include

Using a minimalistic background
Placing only your major points on each slide
Avoiding blocks of copy
Using a limited number of slides

“Keep in mind that although color, images, and graphics liven things up, they can cause distraction when misused,” Waters advises.

Not all of your survey findings will be suitable to include in your presentation, but they may still be essential for stakeholders to know about. According to Swetha Amaresan , senior marketing coordinator at Nickelodeon International, you can supplement your presentation by

Handing this report to stakeholders to look through outside of your presentation
Preparing a full printed report of your results in advance that includes more detail and covers potential questions from stakeholders.

If you’re worried about keeping track of all the best practices above, let Jotform’s Report Builder do the hard work for you. Jotform Report Builder automatically turns your Jotform survey responses into beautiful, professional reports.

Create the perfect report with a range of charts and tables. You can drag and drop design elements to suit your tastes. Don’t worry about having to update your presentation once it’s designed — presentations are updated automatically with each new form submission.

Just so you know

You can automatically turn your survey responses into professional presentations with Jotform Report Builder .

Whether you want to create a survey or turn your existing survey into a report, Jotform is the ideal tool. With over 800 free survey templates , it’s easy to get started.

You can tailor the survey to your needs, choosing the format that works best for you. That could be a classic survey where all questions are listed on a single page, or you may opt for Jotform Cards, where you ask one question per page.

If you want to dig deeper, you can use conditional logic to create an interactive survey that changes depending on each user’s response. Conditional logic improves the quality of answers from respondents while also improving the completion rate.

With Jotform, you never have to worry about privacy or security. All Jotform form data is protected with a 256-bit SSL connection and is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act. You can even add an optional feature that helps with HIPAA compliance if you’re creating a healthcare survey.

The workshops were designed to foster dialogue about DEI and build skillsets, including ways to address microaggressions. You are now scheduled to preview the evaluation results individually with your program director and your vice chair for DEI, and then present the full report at the next combined resident/fellow and faculty meeting. As each of these stakeholders have different perspectives and their availability to meet varies from 15 to 45 minutes, the challenge is how to approach presenting the evaluation results to each of these groups.

Rip Out Action Items

Reporting the results of a program evaluation must explicitly consider how to:

Align the results with the original evaluation questions and stakeholders' inputs.
Make it actionable: evaluations are conducted to inform decisions.
Adapt report to stakeholder audience and present using multiple formats and media.
Follow up to ascertain changes associated with evaluation.

What Is Known

Systematically designed evaluations yield information about the value of a program, project, or initiative to inform key stakeholders' decisions regarding the program (eg, continuation, revision, expansion). Typically, evaluation reports include the results of the evaluation (“What”), interpretation of results (“So What”), and recommendations for continuing and improving the educational activity (“Now What”). How evaluation findings are communicated directly influences how stakeholders understand and react to the data and ultimately their decisions. Evaluators use both comprehensive reports and targeted presentations to address stakeholders' information needs—evidence that matters to them. Targeted presentations can be as short as an “elevator pitch” or as involved as a visual abstract. 1 Using data visualizations (graphic or pictorial formats) for quantitative results (graphs, pie charts, diagrams) enables decision-makers to quickly grasp difficult concepts or identify new patterns. 2 Qualitative data can be effectively presented through word clouds, photos, and quotations.

How You Can Start TODAY

What: Return to your evaluation questions and evaluation standards. Use the questions generated by key stakeholders to organize your presentation. Consider framing the results by levels of data (reaction, learning, behavior, results). Highlight the key findings for all groups then focus on areas by stakeholder interest. Make sure your findings are accurate and your recommendations are useful; demonstrate integrity by differentiating results from opinion.

A Visual Abstract

Now What: Reinforce use of evaluation results. Seek to present the findings in multiple forums to reinforce messages. Identify who needs or wants to see or hear the evaluation findings. Consider existing forums, such as regularly occurring meetings (eg, residency curriculum committee, clinical competency committee, graduate medical education council) and new forums.
So What: Make your report actionable. Make sure recommendations are relevant, useful, aligned with stakeholder values, and actionable.

What You Can Do LONG TERM

What: Maintain an evaluation master file. Include all the various presentations and reports your team has created. Consider using your evaluation findings to populate the annual program evaluation or self-study, and sponsoring institution's documents.
So What: Revisit your evaluation report in a year. Check the utility of your evaluation by stakeholder groups. Was there action taken based on the report? Were your recommendations followed?
Now What: Consider disseminating your evaluation as scholarship. Your evaluation results might contribute to a larger conversation about learning in graduate medical education. Learn about how program evaluations are best presented 4 or consult with an evaluation expert.

What It Takes to Give a Great Presentation

by Carmine Gallo

Summary .

Never underestimate the power of great communication. It can help you land the job of your dreams, attract investors to back your idea, or elevate your stature within your organization. But while there are plenty of good speakers in the world, you can set yourself apart out by being the person who can deliver something great over and over. Here are a few tips for business professionals who want to move from being good speakers to great ones: be concise (the fewer words, the better); never use bullet points (photos and images paired together are more memorable); don’t underestimate the power of your voice (raise and lower it for emphasis); give your audience something extra (unexpected moments will grab their attention); rehearse (the best speakers are the best because they practice — a lot).

I was sitting across the table from a Silicon Valley CEO who had pioneered a technology that touches many of our lives — the flash memory that stores data on smartphones, digital cameras, and computers. He was a frequent guest on CNBC and had been delivering business presentations for at least 20 years before we met. And yet, the CEO wanted to sharpen his public speaking skills.

[Guide] How to Present Qualitative Research Findings in PowerPoint?

By: Author Shrot Katewa

As a researcher, it is quite pointless to do the research if we are unable to share the findings with our audience appropriately! Using PowerPoint is one of the best ways to present research outcomes. But, how does one present qualitative research findings using PowerPoint?

In order to present the qualitative research findings using PowerPoint, you need to create a robust structure for your presentation, make it engaging and visually appealing, present the patterns with explanations for it and highlight the conclusion of your research findings.

In this article, we will help you understand the structure of your presentation. Plus, we’ll share some handy tips that will make your qualitative research presentation really effective!

How to Create a Structure for your Qualitative Research Presentation?

Creating the right structure for your presentation is key to ensuring that it is correctly understood by your audience.

The structure of your Research Presentation not only makes it easier for you to create the document, it also makes it simple for the audience to understand what all will be covered in the presentation at the time of presenting it to your audience.

Furthermore, having a robust structure is a great way to ensure that you don’t miss out on any of the points while working on creating the presentation.

But, what structure should one follow?

Creating a good structure can be tricky for some. Thus, I’m sharing what has worked well for me during my previous research projects.

NOTE – It is important to note that although the following structure is highly effective for most research findings presentation, it has been generalized in order to serve a wide range of research projects. You may want to take a look at points that are very specific to the nature of your research project and include them at your discretion.

Here’s my recommended structure to create your Research Findings presentation –

1. Objective of the Research

A great way to start your presentation is to highlight the objective of your research project.

It is important to remember that merely sharing the objective may sometimes not be enough. A short backstory along with the purpose of your research project can pack a powerful punch ! It not only validates the reasoning for your project but also subtly establishes trust with your audience.

However, do make sure that you’re not reading the backstory from the slide. Let it flow naturally when you are delivering the presentation. Keep the presentation as minimalistic as possible.

2. Key Parameters Considered for Measurement

Once you’ve established the objective, the next thing that you may want to do is perhaps share the key parameters considered for the success of your project.

Every research project, including qualitative research, needs to have a few key parameters to measure against the objective of the research.

For example – If the goal of your project is to gather the sentiments of a certain group of people for a particular product, you may need to measure their feelings. Are they happy or unhappy using the product? How do they perceive the branding of the product? Is it affordable?

Make sure that you list down all such key parameters that were considered while conducting the qualitative research.

In general, laying these out before sharing the outcome can help your audience think from your perspective and look at the findings from the correct lens.

3. Research Methodology Adopted

The next thing that you may want to include in your presentation is the methodology that you adopted for conducting the research.

By knowing your approach, the audience can be better prepared for the outcome of your project. Ensure that you provide sound reasoning for the chosen methodology.

This section of your presentation can also showcase some pictures of the research being conducted. If you have captured a video, include that. Doing this provides further validation of your project.

4. Research Outcomes (Presenting Descriptive Analysis)

This is the section that will constitute the bulk of the your presentation.

Use the slides in this section to describe the observations, and the resulting outcomes on each of the key parameters that were considered for the research project.

It is usually a good idea to dedicate at least 1 or more slides for each parameter . Make sure that you present data wherever possible. However, ensure that the data presented can be easily comprehended.

Provide key learnings from the data, highlight any outliers, and possible reasoning for it. Try not to go too in-depth with the stats as this can overwhelm the audience. Remember, a presentation is most helpful when it is used to provide key highlights of the research !

Apart from using the data, make sure that you also include a few quotes from the participants.

5. Summary and Learnings from the Research

Once you’ve taken the audience through the core part of your research findings, it is a good practice to summarize the key learnings from each of the section of your project.

Make sure your touch upon some of the key learnings covered in the research outcome of your presentation.

Furthermore, include any additional observations and key points that you may have had which were previously not covered.

The summary slide also often acts as “Key Takeaways” from the research for your audience. Thus, make sure that you maintain brevity and highlight only the points that you want your audience to remember even after the presentation.

6. Inclusions and Exclusions (if any)

While this can be an optional section for some of the researchers.

However, dedicating a section on inclusions and exclusions in your presentation can be a great value add! This section helps your audience understand the key factors that were excluded (or included) on purpose!

Moreover, it creates a sense of thoroughness in the minds of your audience.

7. Conclusion of the Research

The purpose of the conclusion slide of your research findings presentation is to revisit the objective, and present a conclusion.

A conclusion may simply validate or nullify the objective. It may sometimes do neither. Nevertheless, having a conclusion slide makes your presentation come a full circle. It creates this sense of completion in the minds of your audience.

8. Questions

Finally, since your audience did not spend as much time as you did on the research project, people are bound to have a few questions.

Thus, the last part of your presentation structure should be dedicated to allowing your audience to ask questions.

Tips for Effectively Presenting Qualitative Research Findings using PowerPoint

For a presentation to be effective, it is important that the presentation is not only well structured but also that it is well created and nicely delivered!

While we have already covered the structure, let me share with you some tips that you can help you create and deliver the presentation effectively.

Tip 1 – Use Visuals

Using visuals in your presentation is a great way to keep the presentations engaging!

Visual aids not only help make the presentation less boring, but it also helps your audience in retaining the information better!

So, use images and videos of the actual research wherever possible. If these do not suffice or do not give a professional feel, there are a number of resources online from where you can source royalty-free images.

My recommendation for high-quality royalty-free images would be either Unsplash or Pexels . Both are really good. The only downside is that they often do not provide the perfect image that can be used. That said, it can get the job done for at least half the time.

If you are unable to find the perfect free image, I recommend checking out Dreamstime . They have a huge library of images and are much cheaper than most of the other image banks. I personally use Dreamstime for my presentation projects!

Tip 2 – Tell a Story (Don’t Show Just Data!)

I cannot stress enough on how important it is to give your presentation a human touch. Delivering a presentation in the form of a story does just that! Furthermore, storytelling is also a great tool for visualization .

Data can be hard-hitting, whereas a touching story can tickle the emotions of your audience on various levels!

One of the best ways to present a story with your research project is to start with the backstory of the objective. We’ve already talked about this in the earlier part of this article.

Start with why is this research project is so important. Follow a story arc that provides an exciting experience of the beginning, the middle, and a progression towards a climax; much like a plot of a soap opera.

Tip 3 – Include Quotes of the Participants

Including quotes of the participants in your research findings presentation not only provides evidence but also demonstrates authenticity!

Quotes function as a platform to include the voice of the target group and provide a peek into the mindset of the target audience.

When using quotes, keep these things in mind –

1. Use Quotes in their Unedited Form

When using quotes in your presentation, make sure that you use them in their raw unedited form.

The need to edit quotes should be only restricted to aid comprehension and sometimes coherence.

Furthermore, when editing the quotes, make sure that you use brackets to insert clarifying words. The standard format for using the brackets is to use square brackets for clarifying words and normal brackets for adding a missing explanation.

2. How to Decide which Quotes to Consider?

It is important to know which quotes to include in your presentation. I use the following 3 criteria when selecting the quote –

Relevance – Consider the quotes that are relevant, and trying to convey the point that you want to establish.
Length – an ideal quote should be not more than 1-2 sentences long.
Choose quotes that are well-expressed and striking in nature.

3. Preserve Identity of the Participant

It is important to preserve and protect the identity of the participant. This can be done by maintaining confidentiality and anonymity.

Thus, refrain from using the name of the participant. An alternative could be using codes, using pseudonyms (made up names) or simply using other general non-identifiable parameters.

Do note, when using pseudonyms, remember to highlight it in the presentation.

If, however, you do need to use the name of the respondent, make sure that the participant is okay with it and you have adequate permissions to use their name.

Tip 4 – Make your Presentation Visually Appealing and Engaging

It is quite obvious for most of us that we need to create a visually appealing presentation. But, making it pleasing to the eye can be a bit challenging.

Fortunately, we wrote a detailed blog post with tips on how to make your presentation attractive. It provides you with easy and effective tips that you can use even as a beginner! Make sure you check that article.

7 EASY tips that ALWAYS make your PPT presentation attractive (even for beginners)

In addition to the tips mentioned in the article, let me share a few things that you can do which are specific to research outcome presentations.

4.1 Use a Simple Color Scheme

Using the right colors are key to make a presentation look good.

One of the most common mistakes that people make is use too many colors in their presentation!

My recommendation would be to go with a monochromatic color scheme in PowerPoint .

4.2 Make the Data Tables Simple and Visually Appealing

When making a presentation on research outcomes, you are bound to present some data.

But, when data is not presented in a proper manner, it can easily and quickly make your presentation look displeasing! The video below can be a good starting point.

Using neat looking tables can simply transform the way your presentation looks. So don’t just dump the data from excel on your PowerPoint presentation. Spend a few minutes on fixing it!

4.3 Use Graphs and Charts (wherever necessary)

When presenting data, my recommendation would be that graphs and charts should be your first preference.

Using graphs or charts make it easier to read the data, takes less time for the audience to comprehend, and it also helps to identify a trend.

However, make sure that the correct chart type is used when representing the data. The last thing that you want is to poorly represent a key piece of information.

4.4 Use Icons instead of Bullet Points

Consider the following example –

This slide could have been created just as easily using bullet points. However, using icons and representing the information in a different format makes the slide pleasing on the eye.

Thus, always try to use icons wherever possible instead of bullet points.

Tip 5 – Include the Outliers

Many times, as a research project manager, we tend to focus on the trends extracted from a data set.

While it is important to identify patterns in the data and provide an adequate explanation for the pattern, it is equally important sometimes to highlight the outliers prominently.

It is easy to forget that there may be hidden learnings even in the outliers. At times, the data trend may be re-iterating the common wisdom. However, upon analyzing the outlier data points, you may get insight into how a few participants are doing things successfully despite not following the common knowledge.

That said, not every outlier will reveal hidden information. So, do verify what to include and what to exclude.

Tip 6 – Take Inspiration from other Presentations

I admit, making any presentation can be a tough ask let alone making a presentation for showcasing qualitative research findings. This is especially hard when we don’t have the necessary skills for creating a presentation.

One quick way to overcome this challenge could be take inspiration from other similar presentations that we may have liked.

There is no shame in being inspired from others. If you don’t have any handy references, you can surely Google it to find a few examples.

One trick that almost always works for me is using Pinterest .

But, don’t just directly search for a research presentation. You will have little to no success with it. The key is to look for specific examples for inspiration. For eg. search for Title Slide examples, or Image Layout Examples in Presentation.

Tip 7 – Ask Others to Critic your Presentation

The last tip that I would want to provide is to make sure that you share the presentation with supportive colleagues or mentors to attain feedback.

This step can be critical to iron out the chinks in the armor. As research project manager, it is common for you to get a bit too involved with the project. This can lead to possibilities wherein you miss out on things.

A good way to overcome this challenge is to get a fresh perspective on your project and the presentation once it has been prepared.

Taking critical feedback before your final presentation can also prepare you to handle tough questions in an adept manner.

Final Thoughts

It is quite important to ensure that we get it right when working on a presentation that showcases the findings of our research project. After all, we don’t want to be in a situation wherein we put in all the hard-work in the project, but we fail to deliver the outcome appropriately.

I hope you will find the aforementioned tips and structure useful, and if you do, make sure that you bookmark this page and spread the word. Wishing you all the very best for your project!

How to Present Survey Results

After you complete a survey, it can be difficult to tell a story with the data you gathered. Data storytelling needs to consider your audience, how to articulate findings, and data visualization tools that can make it happen. Whether it’s for a client or among your team, it’s important for your audience to understand your results and translate them into actionable decisions. Learn how to conduct presentations on survey results methodically, by relying on best practices and tools.

What Are the Best Ways to Present Survey Results?

To present survey results effectively, you need to utilize a combination of techniques, practices, and visuals to ensure clarity and engagement. Incorporate the following strategies in your presentation:

Select an Appropriate Format

One of the first decisions to make when presenting survey results is selecting the appropriate format. Consider the preferences of your audience and the complexity of the data. Microsoft PowerPoint presentations succinctly summarize key findings in a digestible visual format, so your audience can engage with them. You can also explore other formats, like a written report or interactive dashboard, which also provides advantages for different audiences.

Visualize Your Data

The purpose of data visualization is to tell a story, making important data points compelling and easily understood by the audience. You can use charts, graphs, infographics , and diagrams to make your results understandable and appealing. Keep your audience and data in mind as you decide which data visualizations feel appropriate.

Know Your Audience

When crafting your presentation, it’s important to understand your audience so you can tailor the presentation’s delivery to their needs and understanding. Consider their background, expertise, and interests when preparing your presentation. Before the presentation, clarify any needs to ensure that your presentation meets expectations. The language and terminology you use should be appropriate for your audience; it’s important to avoid too much jargon or confusing technical terms.

Practice and Rehearse Your Presentation

When delivering presentations that share survey results, thorough practice and rehearsal is essential. You want to clearly articulate data points, build confidence in your presentation, and confirm that your presentation doesn’t exceed any existing time constraints. Additionally, you should prepare for potential questions from the audience, so that you’re not caught off guard at the end of the presentation. PowerPoint’s speaker notes can help you practice what to say without forgetting a key point.

Foster Audience Engagement

Finally, you should create opportunities for audience engagement. Encouraging questions, discussions, and feedback fosters collaboration and interaction. You can incorporate polls and direct questions to the audience to foster active engagement. Listening to input and addressing questions or comments can help you ensure a productive and meaningful presentation experience for everyone involved.

By employing these techniques and practices, you can conduct presentations on survey results that are informative, engaging, and actionable. With meticulous preparation and rehearsal, you can communicate survey results in way that drives actionable insights and decisions, while leaving a positive impression on your audience.

Making a short presentation based on your research: 11 tips

Markus goldstein, david evans.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve both spent a fair amount of time at conferences. Given that many conferences ask researchers to summarize their work in 15 to 20 minutes, we thought we’d reflect on some ideas for how to do this, and – more importantly – how to do it well.

You have 15 minutes. That’s not enough time to use the slides you used for that recent 90-minute academic seminar. One recent presentation one of us saw had 52 slides for 15 minutes. No amount of speed talking will get you through this in anything resembling coherence. (And quit speed talking, anyway. This isn’t a FedEx commercial !) There is no magic number of slides since the content you’ll have and how you talk will vary. But if you have more than 15 slides, then #2 is doubly important.
Practice. This is the great thing about a 15-minute talk: You can actually afford to run through it, out loud. Running through it once in advance can reveal to you – wow! – that it’s actually a 25-minute talk and you need to cut a bunch. Of course, the first time through the presentation it may take a bit longer than you will when you present, but if you have any doubts, practice again (bringing your prep time to a whopping 30 minutes plus a little bit).
You need a (short) narrative. What is the main story you are trying to tell with this paper? Fifteen minutes works better for communicating a narrative then for taking an audience through every twist and turn of your econometric grandeur. Deciding on your narrative will help with the discipline in the points that follow.
A model or results? Even if your audience is all academics, you don’t have academic seminar time. So the first thing to do is to figure out which is more important to get across – your model or your empirical results. Then trim the other one down to one slide, max. If the results are your focus (usually the case for us), give the audience a sense of how the model is set up, and what the main implications are as they pertain to the results you will show. Conversely, if it’s the model that’s more important, the empirical results will come later and you can just give the very brief highlights that bolster the key points.
The literature. Really, really minimal. If you do it at all, choose only the papers that you are either going to build on in a major way or contradict. For some types of discussants, it may help to include them, even if they don’t meet the other criteria. Marc Bellemare takes an even stronger stance: “Never, ever have a literature review in your slides. If literature reviews are boring to read in papers, they are insanely boring to listen to during presentations.”
Program details. Here it’s a bit of a balance. The audience needs a flavor for the program, they need to understand what it did and how it’s different from other things (particularly other things with some kinds of evidence). But only in exceptional cases (as in, it’s a really different program for theoretical reasons, or you don’t have more than process results yet) do you want this to eat up a lot of your time.
You don’t have time to go through the nitty gritty of the data. We get that every detail about the survey was fascinating (we spend a lot of our lives thinking about this). But if it’s not key to the story, save it for a longer presentation (or another paper). And if you’re doing a primarily theoretical paper, this is a bullet on one slide.
Balance and summary stats. Key summary stats that tell the audience who the people are might make the cut, but 3 slides of every variable that you’ll use are going to be slides you either rip through (telling the audience nothing) or waste most of your time on. Summarize the summary stats. On balance tests: you are either balanced or not. If you are, this gets a bullet at most (you can also just say that). If you’re not, tell us what’s up and why we should or should not worry.
Pre-analysis plan. If you had it, mention it (quickly). If not, don’t. It’s not critical here.
A picture may be worth 1,000 numbers. Sometimes, taking that really packed table which is currently in 12 point font and turning it into a graph is going to help you with self-control and help your audience with comprehension. Put the significant results in a bar chart, and use asterisks to tell folks which are significant.
A special warning about presenting your job market paper. When I (Markus) submitted my job market paper to a journal, the referee report came back noting that this was surely a job market paper since it had 40(!) tables. Key example of how everything matters when you just spent four years of your life collecting each observation. Discipline. You have (or will have) an elevator pitch from the job market – use this to trim your presentation.
Marc Bellemare has a great series of “22 tips for conference and seminar presentations,” many of which apply to short presentations: “Always provide a preview of your results. This isn’t a murder mystery: it’s only when people know where you’re taking them that they can enjoy the scenery along the way.”
Jeff Leek has a great guide to giving presentations of different lengths, and what your goal should be: “As a scientist, it is hard to accept that the primary purpose of a talk is advertising, not science.” This is doubly true for a 15-minute talk.
The AEA Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession has a top 10 list. “Never cut and paste a table from your paper onto a slide. These tables are never easy to read and only irritate your audience. Instead, choose a few results that you want to highlight and present them on a slide in no smaller than 28 font.” We’ve pretty much all done this. It’s bad practice. (“I’m sorry you can’t read this table.” “Oh really, then why did you cut and paste that giant table from your paper into the presentation?!”)
I (Dave) go back and re-read Jesse Shapiro’s guide on “ How to Give an Applied Micro Talk ” from time to time. It’s more geared toward a full-length seminar, but the advice is so good I can’t resist plugging it here.

Blog Business How to Present a Case Study like a Pro (With Examples)

How to Present a Case Study like a Pro (With Examples)

Written by: Danesh Ramuthi Sep 07, 2023

Okay, let’s get real: case studies can be kinda snooze-worthy. But guess what? They don’t have to be!

In this article, I will cover every element that transforms a mere report into a compelling case study, from selecting the right metrics to using persuasive narrative techniques.

And if you’re feeling a little lost, don’t worry! There are cool tools like Venngage’s Case Study Creator to help you whip up something awesome, even if you’re short on time. Plus, the pre-designed case study templates are like instant polish because let’s be honest, everyone loves a shortcut.

What is a case study presentation?

What is the purpose of presenting a case study, how to structure a case study presentation, how long should a case study presentation be, 5 case study presentation examples with templates, 6 tips for delivering an effective case study presentation, 5 common mistakes to avoid in a case study presentation, how to present a case study faqs.

A case study presentation involves a comprehensive examination of a specific subject, which could range from an individual, group, location, event, organization or phenomenon.

They’re like puzzles you get to solve with the audience, all while making you think outside the box.

Unlike a basic report or whitepaper, the purpose of a case study presentation is to stimulate critical thinking among the viewers.

The primary objective of a case study is to provide an extensive and profound comprehension of the chosen topic. You don’t just throw numbers at your audience. You use examples and real-life cases to make you think and see things from different angles.

The primary purpose of presenting a case study is to offer a comprehensive, evidence-based argument that informs, persuades and engages your audience.

Here’s the juicy part: presenting that case study can be your secret weapon. Whether you’re pitching a groundbreaking idea to a room full of suits or trying to impress your professor with your A-game, a well-crafted case study can be the magic dust that sprinkles brilliance over your words.

Think of it like digging into a puzzle you can’t quite crack . A case study lets you explore every piece, turn it over and see how it fits together. This close-up look helps you understand the whole picture, not just a blurry snapshot.

It’s also your chance to showcase how you analyze things, step by step, until you reach a conclusion. It’s all about being open and honest about how you got there.

Besides, presenting a case study gives you an opportunity to connect data and real-world scenarios in a compelling narrative. It helps to make your argument more relatable and accessible, increasing its impact on your audience.

One of the contexts where case studies can be very helpful is during the job interview. In some job interviews, you as candidates may be asked to present a case study as part of the selection process.

Having a case study presentation prepared allows the candidate to demonstrate their ability to understand complex issues, formulate strategies and communicate their ideas effectively.

The way you present a case study can make all the difference in how it’s received. A well-structured presentation not only holds the attention of your audience but also ensures that your key points are communicated clearly and effectively.

In this section, let’s go through the key steps that’ll help you structure your case study presentation for maximum impact.

Let’s get into it.

Open with an introductory overview

Start by introducing the subject of your case study and its relevance. Explain why this case study is important and who would benefit from the insights gained. This is your opportunity to grab your audience’s attention.

Explain the problem in question

Dive into the problem or challenge that the case study focuses on. Provide enough background information for the audience to understand the issue. If possible, quantify the problem using data or metrics to show the magnitude or severity.

Detail the solutions to solve the problem

After outlining the problem, describe the steps taken to find a solution. This could include the methodology, any experiments or tests performed and the options that were considered. Make sure to elaborate on why the final solution was chosen over the others.

Key stakeholders Involved

Talk about the individuals, groups or organizations that were directly impacted by or involved in the problem and its solution.

Stakeholders may experience a range of outcomes—some may benefit, while others could face setbacks.

For example, in a business transformation case study, employees could face job relocations or changes in work culture, while shareholders might be looking at potential gains or losses.

Discuss the key results & outcomes

Discuss the results of implementing the solution. Use data and metrics to back up your statements. Did the solution meet its objectives? What impact did it have on the stakeholders? Be honest about any setbacks or areas for improvement as well.

Include visuals to support your analysis

Visual aids can be incredibly effective in helping your audience grasp complex issues. Utilize charts, graphs, images or video clips to supplement your points. Make sure to explain each visual and how it contributes to your overall argument.

Pie charts illustrate the proportion of different components within a whole, useful for visualizing market share, budget allocation or user demographics.

This is particularly useful especially if you’re displaying survey results in your case study presentation.

Stacked charts on the other hand are perfect for visualizing composition and trends. This is great for analyzing things like customer demographics, product breakdowns or budget allocation in your case study.

Consider this example of a stacked bar chart template. It provides a straightforward summary of the top-selling cake flavors across various locations, offering a quick and comprehensive view of the data.

Stick to what’s essential and impactful. Need help making your data clear and impactful? Our data presentation templates can help! Find clear and engaging visuals to showcase your findings.

Lack of structure

Jumping haphazardly between points or topics can confuse your audience. A well-structured presentation, with a logical flow from introduction to conclusion, is crucial for effective communication.

Ignoring the audience

Different audiences have different needs and levels of understanding. Failing to adapt your presentation to your audience can result in a disconnect and a less impactful presentation.

Poor visual elements

While content is king, poor design or lack of visual elements can make your case study dull or hard to follow. Make sure you use high-quality images, graphs and other visual aids to support your narrative.

Not focusing on results

A case study aims to showcase a problem and its solution, but what most people care about are the results. Failing to highlight or adequately explain the outcomes can make your presentation fall flat.

How to start a case study presentation?

Starting a case study presentation effectively involves a few key steps:

Grab attention : Open with a hook—an intriguing statistic, a provocative question or a compelling visual—to engage your audience from the get-go.
Set the stage : Briefly introduce the subject, context and relevance of the case study to give your audience an idea of what to expect.
Outline objectives : Clearly state what the case study aims to achieve. Are you solving a problem, proving a point or showcasing a success?
Agenda : Give a quick outline of the key sections or topics you’ll cover to help the audience follow along.
Set expectations : Let your audience know what you want them to take away from the presentation, whether it’s knowledge, inspiration or a call to action.

How to present a case study on PowerPoint and on Google Slides?

Qualitative Data Analysis

23 Presenting the Results of Qualitative Analysis

Mikaila Mariel Lemonik Arthur

Qualitative research is not finished just because you have determined the main findings or conclusions of your study. Indeed, disseminating the results is an essential part of the research process. By sharing your results with others, whether in written form as scholarly paper or an applied report or in some alternative format like an oral presentation, an infographic, or a video, you ensure that your findings become part of the ongoing conversation of scholarship in your field, forming part of the foundation for future researchers. This chapter provides an introduction to writing about qualitative research findings. It will outline how writing continues to contribute to the analysis process, what concerns researchers should keep in mind as they draft their presentations of findings, and how best to organize qualitative research writing

As you move through the research process, it is essential to keep yourself organized. Organizing your data, memos, and notes aids both the analytical and the writing processes. Whether you use electronic or physical, real-world filing and organizational systems, these systems help make sense of the mountains of data you have and assure you focus your attention on the themes and ideas you have determined are important (Warren and Karner 2015). Be sure that you have kept detailed notes on all of the decisions you have made and procedures you have followed in carrying out research design, data collection, and analysis, as these will guide your ultimate write-up.

First and foremost, researchers should keep in mind that writing is in fact a form of thinking. Writing is an excellent way to discover ideas and arguments and to further develop an analysis. As you write, more ideas will occur to you, things that were previously confusing will start to make sense, and arguments will take a clear shape rather than being amorphous and poorly-organized. However, writing-as-thinking cannot be the final version that you share with others. Good-quality writing does not display the workings of your thought process. It is reorganized and revised (more on that later) to present the data and arguments important in a particular piece. And revision is totally normal! No one expects the first draft of a piece of writing to be ready for prime time. So write rough drafts and memos and notes to yourself and use them to think, and then revise them until the piece is the way you want it to be for sharing.

Bergin (2018) lays out a set of key concerns for appropriate writing about research. First, present your results accurately, without exaggerating or misrepresenting. It is very easy to overstate your findings by accident if you are enthusiastic about what you have found, so it is important to take care and use appropriate cautions about the limitations of the research. You also need to work to ensure that you communicate your findings in a way people can understand, using clear and appropriate language that is adjusted to the level of those you are communicating with. And you must be clear and transparent about the methodological strategies employed in the research. Remember, the goal is, as much as possible, to describe your research in a way that would permit others to replicate the study. There are a variety of other concerns and decision points that qualitative researchers must keep in mind, including the extent to which to include quantification in their presentation of results, ethics, considerations of audience and voice, and how to bring the richness of qualitative data to life.

Quantification, as you have learned, refers to the process of turning data into numbers. It can indeed be very useful to count and tabulate quantitative data drawn from qualitative research. For instance, if you were doing a study of dual-earner households and wanted to know how many had an equal division of household labor and how many did not, you might want to count those numbers up and include them as part of the final write-up. However, researchers need to take care when they are writing about quantified qualitative data. Qualitative data is not as generalizable as quantitative data, so quantification can be very misleading. Thus, qualitative researchers should strive to use raw numbers instead of the percentages that are more appropriate for quantitative research. Writing, for instance, “15 of the 20 people I interviewed prefer pancakes to waffles” is a simple description of the data; writing “75% of people prefer pancakes” suggests a generalizable claim that is not likely supported by the data. Note that mixing numbers with qualitative data is really a type of mixed-methods approach. Mixed-methods approaches are good, but sometimes they seduce researchers into focusing on the persuasive power of numbers and tables rather than capitalizing on the inherent richness of their qualitative data.

A variety of issues of scholarly ethics and research integrity are raised by the writing process. Some of these are unique to qualitative research, while others are more universal concerns for all academic and professional writing. For example, it is essential to avoid plagiarism and misuse of sources. All quotations that appear in a text must be properly cited, whether with in-text and bibliographic citations to the source or with an attribution to the research participant (or the participant’s pseudonym or description in order to protect confidentiality) who said those words. Where writers will paraphrase a text or a participant’s words, they need to make sure that the paraphrase they develop accurately reflects the meaning of the original words. Thus, some scholars suggest that participants should have the opportunity to read (or to have read to them, if they cannot read the text themselves) all sections of the text in which they, their words, or their ideas are presented to ensure accuracy and enable participants to maintain control over their lives.

Audience and Voice

When writing, researchers must consider their audience(s) and the effects they want their writing to have on these audiences. The designated audience will dictate the voice used in the writing, or the individual style and personality of a piece of text. Keep in mind that the potential audience for qualitative research is often much more diverse than that for quantitative research because of the accessibility of the data and the extent to which the writing can be accessible and interesting. Yet individual pieces of writing are typically pitched to a more specific subset of the audience.

Let us consider one potential research study, an ethnography involving participant-observation of the same children both when they are at daycare facility and when they are at home with their families to try to understand how daycare might impact behavior and social development. The findings of this study might be of interest to a wide variety of potential audiences: academic peers, whether at your own academic institution, in your broader discipline, or multidisciplinary; people responsible for creating laws and policies; practitioners who run or teach at day care centers; and the general public, including both people who are interested in child development more generally and those who are themselves parents making decisions about child care for their own children. And the way you write for each of these audiences will be somewhat different. Take a moment and think through what some of these differences might look like.

If you are writing to academic audiences, using specialized academic language and working within the typical constraints of scholarly genres, as will be discussed below, can be an important part of convincing others that your work is legitimate and should be taken seriously. Your writing will be formal. Even if you are writing for students and faculty you already know—your classmates, for instance—you are often asked to imitate the style of academic writing that is used in publications, as this is part of learning to become part of the scholarly conversation. When speaking to academic audiences outside your discipline, you may need to be more careful about jargon and specialized language, as disciplines do not always share the same key terms. For instance, in sociology, scholars use the term diffusion to refer to the way new ideas or practices spread from organization to organization. In the field of international relations, scholars often used the term cascade to refer to the way ideas or practices spread from nation to nation. These terms are describing what is fundamentally the same concept, but they are different terms—and a scholar from one field might have no idea what a scholar from a different field is talking about! Therefore, while the formality and academic structure of the text would stay the same, a writer with a multidisciplinary audience might need to pay more attention to defining their terms in the body of the text.

It is not only other academic scholars who expect to see formal writing. Policymakers tend to expect formality when ideas are presented to them, as well. However, the content and style of the writing will be different. Much less academic jargon should be used, and the most important findings and policy implications should be emphasized right from the start rather than initially focusing on prior literature and theoretical models as you might for an academic audience. Long discussions of research methods should also be minimized. Similarly, when you write for practitioners, the findings and implications for practice should be highlighted. The reading level of the text will vary depending on the typical background of the practitioners to whom you are writing—you can make very different assumptions about the general knowledge and reading abilities of a group of hospital medical directors with MDs than you can about a group of case workers who have a post-high-school certificate. Consider the primary language of your audience as well. The fact that someone can get by in spoken English does not mean they have the vocabulary or English reading skills to digest a complex report. But the fact that someone’s vocabulary is limited says little about their intellectual abilities, so try your best to convey the important complexity of the ideas and findings from your research without dumbing them down—even if you must limit your vocabulary usage.

When writing for the general public, you will want to move even further towards emphasizing key findings and policy implications, but you also want to draw on the most interesting aspects of your data. General readers will read sociological texts that are rich with ethnographic or other kinds of detail—it is almost like reality television on a page! And this is a contrast to busy policymakers and practitioners, who probably want to learn the main findings as quickly as possible so they can go about their busy lives. But also keep in mind that there is a wide variation in reading levels. Journalists at publications pegged to the general public are often advised to write at about a tenth-grade reading level, which would leave most of the specialized terminology we develop in our research fields out of reach. If you want to be accessible to even more people, your vocabulary must be even more limited. The excellent exercise of trying to write using the 1,000 most common English words, available at the Up-Goer Five website ( https://www.splasho.com/upgoer5/ ) does a good job of illustrating this challenge (Sanderson n.d.).

Another element of voice is whether to write in the first person. While many students are instructed to avoid the use of the first person in academic writing, this advice needs to be taken with a grain of salt. There are indeed many contexts in which the first person is best avoided, at least as long as writers can find ways to build strong, comprehensible sentences without its use, including most quantitative research writing. However, if the alternative to using the first person is crafting a sentence like “it is proposed that the researcher will conduct interviews,” it is preferable to write “I propose to conduct interviews.” In qualitative research, in fact, the use of the first person is far more common. This is because the researcher is central to the research project. Qualitative researchers can themselves be understood as research instruments, and thus eliminating the use of the first person in writing is in a sense eliminating information about the conduct of the researchers themselves.

But the question really extends beyond the issue of first-person or third-person. Qualitative researchers have choices about how and whether to foreground themselves in their writing, not just in terms of using the first person, but also in terms of whether to emphasize their own subjectivity and reflexivity, their impressions and ideas, and their role in the setting. In contrast, conventional quantitative research in the positivist tradition really tries to eliminate the author from the study—which indeed is exactly why typical quantitative research avoids the use of the first person. Keep in mind that emphasizing researchers’ roles and reflexivity and using the first person does not mean crafting articles that provide overwhelming detail about the author’s thoughts and practices. Readers do not need to hear, and should not be told, which database you used to search for journal articles, how many hours you spent transcribing, or whether the research process was stressful—save these things for the memos you write to yourself. Rather, readers need to hear how you interacted with research participants, how your standpoint may have shaped the findings, and what analytical procedures you carried out.

Making Data Come Alive

One of the most important parts of writing about qualitative research is presenting the data in a way that makes its richness and value accessible to readers. As the discussion of analysis in the prior chapter suggests, there are a variety of ways to do this. Researchers may select key quotes or images to illustrate points, write up specific case studies that exemplify their argument, or develop vignettes (little stories) that illustrate ideas and themes, all drawing directly on the research data. Researchers can also write more lengthy summaries, narratives, and thick descriptions.

Nearly all qualitative work includes quotes from research participants or documents to some extent, though ethnographic work may focus more on thick description than on relaying participants’ own words. When quotes are presented, they must be explained and interpreted—they cannot stand on their own. This is one of the ways in which qualitative research can be distinguished from journalism. Journalism presents what happened, but social science needs to present the “why,” and the why is best explained by the researcher.

So how do authors go about integrating quotes into their written work? Julie Posselt (2017), a sociologist who studies graduate education, provides a set of instructions. First of all, authors need to remain focused on the core questions of their research, and avoid getting distracted by quotes that are interesting or attention-grabbing but not so relevant to the research question. Selecting the right quotes, those that illustrate the ideas and arguments of the paper, is an important part of the writing process. Second, not all quotes should be the same length (just like not all sentences or paragraphs in a paper should be the same length). Include some quotes that are just phrases, others that are a sentence or so, and others that are longer. We call longer quotes, generally those more than about three lines long, block quotes , and they are typically indented on both sides to set them off from the surrounding text. For all quotes, be sure to summarize what the quote should be telling or showing the reader, connect this quote to other quotes that are similar or different, and provide transitions in the discussion to move from quote to quote and from topic to topic. Especially for longer quotes, it is helpful to do some of this writing before the quote to preview what is coming and other writing after the quote to make clear what readers should have come to understand. Remember, it is always the author’s job to interpret the data. Presenting excerpts of the data, like quotes, in a form the reader can access does not minimize the importance of this job. Be sure that you are explaining the meaning of the data you present.

A few more notes about writing with quotes: avoid patchwriting, whether in your literature review or the section of your paper in which quotes from respondents are presented. Patchwriting is a writing practice wherein the author lightly paraphrases original texts but stays so close to those texts that there is little the author has added. Sometimes, this even takes the form of presenting a series of quotes, properly documented, with nothing much in the way of text generated by the author. A patchwriting approach does not build the scholarly conversation forward, as it does not represent any kind of new contribution on the part of the author. It is of course fine to paraphrase quotes, as long as the meaning is not changed. But if you use direct quotes, do not edit the text of the quotes unless how you edit them does not change the meaning and you have made clear through the use of ellipses (…) and brackets ([])what kinds of edits have been made. For example, consider this exchange from Matthew Desmond’s (2012:1317) research on evictions:

The thing was, I wasn’t never gonna let Crystal come and stay with me from the get go. I just told her that to throw her off. And she wasn’t fittin’ to come stay with me with no money…No. Nope. You might as well stay in that shelter.

A paraphrase of this exchange might read “She said that she was going to let Crystal stay with her if Crystal did not have any money.” Paraphrases like that are fine. What is not fine is rewording the statement but treating it like a quote, for instance writing:

The thing was, I was not going to let Crystal come and stay with me from beginning. I just told her that to throw her off. And it was not proper for her to come stay with me without any money…No. Nope. You might as well stay in that shelter.

But as you can see, the change in language and style removes some of the distinct meaning of the original quote. Instead, writers should leave as much of the original language as possible. If some text in the middle of the quote needs to be removed, as in this example, ellipses are used to show that this has occurred. And if a word needs to be added to clarify, it is placed in square brackets to show that it was not part of the original quote.

Data can also be presented through the use of data displays like tables, charts, graphs, diagrams, and infographics created for publication or presentation, as well as through the use of visual material collected during the research process. Note that if visuals are used, the author must have the legal right to use them. Photographs or diagrams created by the author themselves—or by research participants who have signed consent forms for their work to be used, are fine. But photographs, and sometimes even excerpts from archival documents, may be owned by others from whom researchers must get permission in order to use them.

A large percentage of qualitative research does not include any data displays or visualizations. Therefore, researchers should carefully consider whether the use of data displays will help the reader understand the data. One of the most common types of data displays used by qualitative researchers are simple tables. These might include tables summarizing key data about cases included in the study; tables laying out the characteristics of different taxonomic elements or types developed as part of the analysis; tables counting the incidence of various elements; and 2×2 tables (two columns and two rows) illuminating a theory. Basic network or process diagrams are also commonly included. If data displays are used, it is essential that researchers include context and analysis alongside data displays rather than letting them stand by themselves, and it is preferable to continue to present excerpts and examples from the data rather than just relying on summaries in the tables.

If you will be using graphs, infographics, or other data visualizations, it is important that you attend to making them useful and accurate (Bergin 2018). Think about the viewer or user as your audience and ensure the data visualizations will be comprehensible. You may need to include more detail or labels than you might think. Ensure that data visualizations are laid out and labeled clearly and that you make visual choices that enhance viewers’ ability to understand the points you intend to communicate using the visual in question. Finally, given the ease with which it is possible to design visuals that are deceptive or misleading, it is essential to make ethical and responsible choices in the construction of visualization so that viewers will interpret them in accurate ways.

The Genre of Research Writing

As discussed above, the style and format in which results are presented depends on the audience they are intended for. These differences in styles and format are part of the genre of writing. Genre is a term referring to the rules of a specific form of creative or productive work. Thus, the academic journal article—and student papers based on this form—is one genre. A report or policy paper is another. The discussion below will focus on the academic journal article, but note that reports and policy papers follow somewhat different formats. They might begin with an executive summary of one or a few pages, include minimal background, focus on key findings, and conclude with policy implications, shifting methods and details about the data to an appendix. But both academic journal articles and policy papers share some things in common, for instance the necessity for clear writing, a well-organized structure, and the use of headings.

So what factors make up the genre of the academic journal article in sociology? While there is some flexibility, particularly for ethnographic work, academic journal articles tend to follow a fairly standard format. They begin with a “title page” that includes the article title (often witty and involving scholarly inside jokes, but more importantly clearly describing the content of the article); the authors’ names and institutional affiliations, an abstract , and sometimes keywords designed to help others find the article in databases. An abstract is a short summary of the article that appears both at the very beginning of the article and in search databases. Abstracts are designed to aid readers by giving them the opportunity to learn enough about an article that they can determine whether it is worth their time to read the complete text. They are written about the article, and thus not in the first person, and clearly summarize the research question, methodological approach, main findings, and often the implications of the research.

After the abstract comes an “introduction” of a page or two that details the research question, why it matters, and what approach the paper will take. This is followed by a literature review of about a quarter to a third the length of the entire paper. The literature review is often divided, with headings, into topical subsections, and is designed to provide a clear, thorough overview of the prior research literature on which a paper has built—including prior literature the new paper contradicts. At the end of the literature review it should be made clear what researchers know about the research topic and question, what they do not know, and what this new paper aims to do to address what is not known.

The next major section of the paper is the section that describes research design, data collection, and data analysis, often referred to as “research methods” or “methodology.” This section is an essential part of any written or oral presentation of your research. Here, you tell your readers or listeners “how you collected and interpreted your data” (Taylor, Bogdan, and DeVault 2016:215). Taylor, Bogdan, and DeVault suggest that the discussion of your research methods include the following:

The particular approach to data collection used in the study;
Any theoretical perspective(s) that shaped your data collection and analytical approach;
When the study occurred, over how long, and where (concealing identifiable details as needed);
A description of the setting and participants, including sampling and selection criteria (if an interview-based study, the number of participants should be clearly stated);
The researcher’s perspective in carrying out the study, including relevant elements of their identity and standpoint, as well as their role (if any) in research settings; and
The approach to analyzing the data.

After the methods section comes a section, variously titled but often called “data,” that takes readers through the analysis. This section is where the thick description narrative; the quotes, broken up by theme or topic, with their interpretation; the discussions of case studies; most data displays (other than perhaps those outlining a theoretical model or summarizing descriptive data about cases); and other similar material appears. The idea of the data section is to give readers the ability to see the data for themselves and to understand how this data supports the ultimate conclusions. Note that all tables and figures included in formal publications should be titled and numbered.

At the end of the paper come one or two summary sections, often called “discussion” and/or “conclusion.” If there is a separate discussion section, it will focus on exploring the overall themes and findings of the paper. The conclusion clearly and succinctly summarizes the findings and conclusions of the paper, the limitations of the research and analysis, any suggestions for future research building on the paper or addressing these limitations, and implications, be they for scholarship and theory or policy and practice.

After the end of the textual material in the paper comes the bibliography, typically called “works cited” or “references.” The references should appear in a consistent citation style—in sociology, we often use the American Sociological Association format (American Sociological Association 2019), but other formats may be used depending on where the piece will eventually be published. Care should be taken to ensure that in-text citations also reflect the chosen citation style. In some papers, there may be an appendix containing supplemental information such as a list of interview questions or an additional data visualization.

Note that when researchers give presentations to scholarly audiences, the presentations typically follow a format similar to that of scholarly papers, though given time limitations they are compressed. Abstracts and works cited are often not part of the presentation, though in-text citations are still used. The literature review presented will be shortened to only focus on the most important aspects of the prior literature, and only key examples from the discussion of data will be included. For long or complex papers, sometimes only one of several findings is the focus of the presentation. Of course, presentations for other audiences may be constructed differently, with greater attention to interesting elements of the data and findings as well as implications and less to the literature review and methods.

Concluding Your Work

After you have written a complete draft of the paper, be sure you take the time to revise and edit your work. There are several important strategies for revision. First, put your work away for a little while. Even waiting a day to revise is better than nothing, but it is best, if possible, to take much more time away from the text. This helps you forget what your writing looks like and makes it easier to find errors, mistakes, and omissions. Second, show your work to others. Ask them to read your work and critique it, pointing out places where the argument is weak, where you may have overlooked alternative explanations, where the writing could be improved, and what else you need to work on. Finally, read your work out loud to yourself (or, if you really need an audience, try reading to some stuffed animals). Reading out loud helps you catch wrong words, tricky sentences, and many other issues. But as important as revision is, try to avoid perfectionism in writing (Warren and Karner 2015). Writing can always be improved, no matter how much time you spend on it. Those improvements, however, have diminishing returns, and at some point the writing process needs to conclude so the writing can be shared with the world.

Of course, the main goal of writing up the results of a research project is to share with others. Thus, researchers should be considering how they intend to disseminate their results. What conferences might be appropriate? Where can the paper be submitted? Note that if you are an undergraduate student, there are a wide variety of journals that accept and publish research conducted by undergraduates. Some publish across disciplines, while others are specific to disciplines. Other work, such as reports, may be best disseminated by publication online on relevant organizational websites.

After a project is completed, be sure to take some time to organize your research materials and archive them for longer-term storage. Some Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols require that original data, such as interview recordings, transcripts, and field notes, be preserved for a specific number of years in a protected (locked for paper or password-protected for digital) form and then destroyed, so be sure that your plans adhere to the IRB requirements. Be sure you keep any materials that might be relevant for future related research or for answering questions people may ask later about your project.

And then what? Well, then it is time to move on to your next research project. Research is a long-term endeavor, not a one-time-only activity. We build our skills and our expertise as we continue to pursue research. So keep at it.

Find a short article that uses qualitative methods. The sociological magazine Contexts is a good place to find such pieces. Write an abstract of the article.
Choose a sociological journal article on a topic you are interested in that uses some form of qualitative methods and is at least 20 pages long. Rewrite the article as a five-page research summary accessible to non-scholarly audiences.
Choose a concept or idea you have learned in this course and write an explanation of it using the Up-Goer Five Text Editor ( https://www.splasho.com/upgoer5/ ), a website that restricts your writing to the 1,000 most common English words. What was this experience like? What did it teach you about communicating with people who have a more limited English-language vocabulary—and what did it teach you about the utility of having access to complex academic language?
Select five or more sociological journal articles that all use the same basic type of qualitative methods (interviewing, ethnography, documents, or visual sociology). Using what you have learned about coding, code the methods sections of each article, and use your coding to figure out what is common in how such articles discuss their research design, data collection, and analysis methods.
Return to an exercise you completed earlier in this course and revise your work. What did you change? How did revising impact the final product?
Find a quote from the transcript of an interview, a social media post, or elsewhere that has not yet been interpreted or explained. Write a paragraph that includes the quote along with an explanation of its sociological meaning or significance.

The style or personality of a piece of writing, including such elements as tone, word choice, syntax, and rhythm.

A quotation, usually one of some length, which is set off from the main text by being indented on both sides rather than being placed in quotation marks.

A classification of written or artistic work based on form, content, and style.

A short summary of a text written from the perspective of a reader rather than from the perspective of an author.

An Executive’s Guide to OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) Framework

Setting ambitious goals is easy. Reaching them is 10X harder. When that goal is divided across multiple people, the track to success can get even longer. So how do you keep your teams aligned on the same goal and ensure that their everyday work positively contributes towards a larger end-goal? You can try the OKR framework.

What is OKR?

How okr works, the benefits of okrs, okr vs smart goals, okr vs balanced scorecard, create a company-wide okr hierarchy, ultimate okr, product department okr, product manager okr, determine the optimal okr cadence, review and grade your okrs, final words.

OKR, short for objectives and key results, is a lean business goal setting technique, aimed at steering alignment, engagement, and targeted execution around measurable goals. It boils down to organizing your goals and priorities using one simple sentence:

I will ________ as measured by ____________.

But don’t get fooled by the seeming OKRs simplicity. The complete OKR methodology is a tad bit more sophisticated as we’ll explain shortly.

What is OKR? Objective - Key Actions - Results

The OKR framework was popularized by Andy Grove (former Intel CEO) in the late 1970s. As the company was undergoing business model change, Grove realized that he lacked engagement and support at the grassroots levels as individual employers did not fully understand the new business priorities. The introduction of the ORK system helped Grove secure buy-in from all staff and help individual workers direct their effort towards the key company goals.

John Doerr was working along with Andy Grove at that time. He was fascinated with Grove’s managerial approach and went on to borrow the OKR technique. In the late 2000s, Doerr introduced the OKR process to Google leadership and who still use the technique today:

It took a couple of iterations, but we figured out the right cadence and model and to this day, Larry [Page] writes his OKRs and Google’s corporate OKRs every quarter. – John Doerr

Google OKR success propelled further spreading of this practice across Silicon Valley and well beyond it. Today, an array of other market leaders including Twitter, Spotify, Airbnb, Walmart, Target, and The Guardian among others swear by OKRs.

To further understand OKR meaning, let’s drill one level deeper into the practice.

Doerr’s OKR formula has two core elements an objective ( I will ) and measurable results ( measured by ). To formalize both of these, you need to answer two questions:

Where do I want to get? Your answer will be your objective.
How will I measure my pace of getting there? This answer specifies the key milestones and results you are after.

Lastly, you have to bridge the gap between the stated goal and desired results. That’s where Key Activities come in. OKR plans specify the exact actions you’ll need to take to reach the results you’ve outlined.

Here’s an example of how the entire plan looks based on our OKR PowerPoint Template :

Example of OKR slide design for presentations. How OKR Works?

Let’s say you want to set business OKRs for your go-to-market strategy . Here’s a quick OKR example for that:

Objective: Launch a new cosmetics product that customers will love.

Key Activities:

Perform market target buyer research.
Schedule focus group interviews.
Send gift kits to beauty editors and influencers.
Launch an Instagram marketing campaign.
Configure e-commerce goal tracking.
Improve brand recognition and recall by 3 points
Increase daily website traffic by 15%
Secure $25,000 of attributed sales from Instagram by Nov, 25th.

Here’s the deal: most people in your company have little clue to how their day-to-day work contributes to the company’s goals. One survey found that only 55% of mid-level managers could name at least one of their company’s top five strategic priorities.

That’s problematic since lack of alignment leads to lower employer engagement, worse department results, and ultimately directly impacts the business bottom lines. OKRs, on the contrary, help the teams get a better sense of direction and focus on reaching the results that matter. Such targeted refocusing, in turn, translates to better performance and better business results. Another study suggests that one sales team who started using OKRs saw an 8.5% increase in their average sales per hour volume.

Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter, summed up the benefits of OKR pretty well :

[OKRs] are a great way to help everyone in the company understand what’s important and how you’re going to measure what’s important. It’s essentially a great way to communicate strategy and how you’re going to measure strategy.

Apart from the positive impact on bottom lines and communication, here are other benefits of OKR:

Faster progress
Higher employee motivation
Improved cross-functional collaboration
Leaner processes and operational agility
Better autonomy and accountability
Sharper focus and stronger discipline

How OKR Differs from Other Goal Setting Techniques

The corporate lingo has a lot of other funky acronyms, used in business planning. So let’s take a closer look at how OKR stacks against other popular business goal-setting techniques.

KPI, short for Key Performance Indicator, is a metric for measuring the success of ongoing activities that are already in place. It’s a fixed end-goal you are working towards. OKR, on the other hand, also specifies the journey you need to take to nail that goal.

So KPIs are often taken as a starting point for creating the Key Results for a loftier objective. In essence, OKRs often contain KPIs, but not the other way around.

SMART stands for S hort, M easurable, A ttainable, and T ime-Based goals.

SMART Goals Slide Design PowerPoint template

SMART goals are similar to OKR since both help structure intangible aspirations into scoped and measured business objectives. However, the main difference between a SMART goal vs OKR is that OKRs place a greater emphasis on the journey towards the key results.

While SMART goals also have the “M” (measurable) component, this describer often gets swiped for Motivational or Meaningful. As a result, SMART goals lose their “measurability”. OKRs, on the contrary, have a rigid structure that emphasizes the measurement of progress at all times.

Also, OKRs are often hierarchical and exist on multiple levels e.g. the ultimate corporate OKR is further supported by company-wide OKRs, set for the executive team. The SMART framework, on the contrary, is better suited for isolated goals and cannot be scaled to set relationships between different goals across the organization.

Balanced scorecards are another popular managerial technique that’s also focused on setting company-wide objectives and measures to gauge the effectiveness of achieving them.

On the surface level, the two techniques are very similar. However, there are two important differences between OKR and a Balanced scorecard:

Cadence: With Balanced scorecards, most companies set business objectives and measures spanning over 1 year minimal. OKRs assume shorter timelines and are aimed at setting objectives for the next 90 days max.
Parameters for creation. Balanced scorecards prompt you to set business objectives and measures in four perspectives of performance: Financial, Customer, Internal Processes, Learning & Growth. OKRs do not pose these limits and prompt you to focus on any operational area that’s important for the next quarter.

Example: Setting Up OKRs at Your Company

You already know the general framework for setting OKRs objective + key activities + result = OKR. Your next goal is to scale the approach across your company from the top level to individual employees. Here’s a possible way to approach this:

OKRs drive the best results when they follow a top-to-bottom structure from the largest objective, based around the current company vision down to individual objectives, contributing to the ultimate goal.

A sample OKR structure for such an approach can look the following way:

Become a customer-centric company.

Key results :

Appoint a new Product Management Department Head by Nov, 10th.
Finalize the new product vision with stakeholders by Nov, 12th.
Perform budget reallocation to provide a 25% budget increase to the Product Marketing team.

Improve product development lifecycle.

Set up a continuous feedback pipeline for the development team by Nov, 20th.
Launch 3 new app features, based on user feedback.
Improve comparison tool accuracy by 25%.

Increase comparison tool usage.

Key results:

Strategize 3 new features that will increase tool usage.
Scale customer referral program to attack 100 new sign-ups per month.
Launch 5 test email sequences, explaining tools usage to 5 customer segments.

Originally, the OKR methodology was based around quarterly cycles. However, that’s not a rule set in stone. Some companies choose to set different OKR cadence for higher-level, long term OKRs (e.g 6 months) and shorter timeframe for team or individual OKRs (e.g. 4 weeks).

However, such an approach can work well for some teams, but create issues for others. Different OKR cycle lengths can add to operational overhead or misalignment, as the general cadence flow may get messed up.

To avoid that, set the 90-day OKR cycle for everyone at first. Then augment it with extra check-in milestones. Schedule regular team/department presentations on OKRs progress, mid-term results, and potential bottlenecks to monitor overall progress and make adjustments.

Helpful template for OKR presentations: OKR PowerPoint Template by SlideModel

The whole point of OKRs is to measure the progress being made towards the objective. That’s why to make them even more effective, you should carefully assess performance on each OKR during the review sessions.

The easiest way is to use Google’s approach and mark each OKR on a scale from 0.0. to 1.0. For instance, if you have managed to ‘send 3 email campaigns instead of 6’, your OKR rating will be 0.5. Doing so can help individual workers and teams gain a better sense of where they are now, reflect on the progress made, and double the effort in areas with the lowest scores.

To streamline the scoring process, you can customize an OKR grading spreadsheet from Google or look into more advanced SaaS OKR tools that are now aplenty on the market.

The larger the company the less clarity there is among individual team members about its direction. OKR framework helps fix that by suggesting a streamlined, hierarchical, and result-driven approach to communicating the company vision and ensuring that the main ideas travel lower down to the grassroots levels.

Remember: your goal is to create short, memorable objectives , and back them by 2 to 5 measurable key results . This way you can move to success in a sustainable, effective pace!

How to present survey results in PowerPoint or Google Slides

A survey is a technique that is applied by conducting a questionnaire to a significant sample of a group of people. When we carry out the survey, we start from a hypothesis and it is this survey activity that will allow us to confirm the hypothesis or to see where the problem and solution of what we are investigating lies.

We know: fieldwork is hard work. Many hours collecting data, analyzing and organizing it until we have our survey results.

Well, we don't want to discourage you (at Slidesgo we stand for positivism) but this is only 50% of the survey work. After having organized the results, it's time to share and present them! Such good work can't be hidden and, besides, sharing is living, and can determine the next step of your research or your following survey.

Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine now that you are listening to a large number of figures, percentages, and other quantitative expressions typical of a survey. Would the result of that survey be clear to you? Probably not. A picture is worth a thousand words (one of our catchphrases, yes). Now, imagine (or continue reading this post, because you will find images) that all these data are represented in graphs or infographics, with colors, eye-catching fonts... The feeling is very different! The human brain interprets an image 60,000 times faster than a text!

So, in this post, we are going to show you some ways to present survey results in Google Slides and PowerPoint , so that your surveys can be understood in a very clear and concise way. Here we go!

Graphs and charts

Infographics.

When it comes to providing an audience with numerical data, one of the best ways is with a graph. A good graph conveys the most relevant features of your survey and also allows you to compare, highlight a trend or show other related elements.

If you are afraid of working with charts, don't worry! To solve those doubts and concerns you may have before using a chart, we have several very interesting posts at Slidesgo School : whether you want to learn how to modify a graph in our templates or if you want to make and insert a chart in PowerPoint or Google Slides previously created by you.

EXTRA TIP! Use different colors in your graphs, one for each value or result of the survey, it will provide a lot of clarity on the subject.

Below, we are going to show you different types of graphs and charts with which you can represent your survey data. Just select the types that you think are ideal for the characteristics of your survey.

They are a safe choice, as they are very easy to create and interpret. All values can be compared very easily!

Line charts

These types of charts are very well suited to illustrate how different elements vary over time or a given distance. In the example, you can see the evolution of two elements over time. Where is your research going? This type of graph will answer this question.

Venn diagram

Venn diagrams (named after its creator, John Venn) are infographics that show the grouping of one or several elements delimited by closed lines so that the elements of each group remain inside.

In the image, you can see a Venn diagram in an abstract style, without following very fixed lines, in case you would like to give a more casual touch to your results!

However, understanding and knowing how to generate Venn diagrams can be difficult, that's why, on our blog, we have two posts dedicated to how to create a Venn diagram , both in Google Slides and PowerPoint . Grab paper and a pencil, there is some very interesting information!

Mmmm, it smells like cake! We're sorry to tell you this, but this is not a pie, but a pie chart, perfect for your survey results! This type of graph is very popular and is used to compare different parts that together make a whole, a total. Going back to our tip of using colors... Notice how clear it is to use a different color for each element!

Infographics are perfect for talking about surveys. They are eye-catching, they organize the information in a very appropriate order, they make the data look more pleasant and impactful and they are the ideal complement for your presentations. At Slidesgo , we have a very complete section of infographics for all types of presentations. Which one fits best with your content?

We are going to show you a series of examples of infographics so that you can see how clear everything is with the use of infographic resources. Maybe even a set of infographics will come in handy for your survey results!

Fashion Portraits Newsletter Infographics

Project Management Infographics

Technology Consulting Infographics

This post is coming to an end... Hopefully, you have learned a lot about how to present your survey results! To conclude, we want to give you a few last tips, because we want your presentation to turn out great:

In addition to numerical data, present the objectives and conclusions of your survey . The audience will appreciate it if you make them part of the survey interpretation process.
Explain how you collected the information . Detail the process of conducting the survey, so that the audience can see the hard work behind it.
Talk about the different variables in your survey . Age, locations where the survey took place, and other variables that are part of your different surveys.
Use a moderate number of graphs or infographics . Balance is the key, so include only those data that are relevant to the development of the survey and eliminate those variables or parts that are not influential.

And that's all! If you apply all these recommendations, everyone will internalize the results of your surveys and will want to know about future projects.

How to Prepare a Survey Results Presentation?

Data insights are the backbone of any survey results presentation.

People want data before making a decision. But they want it in a form that’s appealing to their emotions.

So, how do you serve data in a compelling and easy-to-understand form?

Let’s imagine you’ve just gathered survey responses. But you’re stuck in the trenches. You don’t know how to turn these responses into compelling data stories.

How do you jump over this obstacle?

Survey responses are complex and may have textual and numerical data. This requires you to change your strategy during the analysis phase.

We recommend you try these charts, namely:

CSAT Score Bar Chart

Customer satisfaction chart, likert scale chart.

These survey-based charts and graphs are tailor-made specifically to help extract in-depth insights into your survey responses.

Yes, you read that right.

Excel lacks ready-to-go, easy-to-read, and insightful survey results presentation graphs.

We’re not recommending you dispose of your Microsoft Excel.

Installing third-party apps (add-ins) to access ready-made and easy-to-decode survey results presentation charts.

In this blog, you’ll learn:

Definition: Survey results are the information collected from target respondents. This data is usually about a specific topic to conduct research, such as in a longitudinal survey , which tracks changes over time.

You have multiple methods at your disposal if your goal is to gather survey results for further analysis. You can use a diverse number of mediums to gather feedback and opinions from the desired sample of your niche market.

Seasoned data visualization experts use freemium tools like Google Forms and Microsoft Forms to collect survey data faster. These tools are free, easy to use, and, most importantly, shareable via email, social media, or website embeds.

Once you have gathered responses, what’s the next step?

This is what we seek to address in this blog.

In the coming section, we’ll address the following question: what are the best graphs to use for survey results?

Some of the tested and recommended charts for visualizing survey data include the following:

csat score bar chart in survey results presentation

A CSAT Score Bar Chart is one of the survey results presentation-oriented visualizations you can use to display insights into your data.

The chart shows a Net Promoter Score – a customer experience-based metric.

The resulting insights are displayed along a Y-axis between -100 and +100. Use this graph to measure your customers’ level of loyalty.

customer satisfaction chart in survey results presentation

A Customer Satisfaction Chart is a survey result presentation-based graph you can use to display insights into close-ended questionnaire data.

The visualization shows the respondents agree or disagree with topics related to your brand. The easy-to-interpret chart is segmented into red and green, representing YES and NO.

A Likert Chart is one of the survey results presentation-based visualizations you can use to showcase insights into the sentiments of your target respondents.

This psychometric scale-based visualization is best suited for displaying insights into survey data.

There are many Likert scale types, depending on agreement/disagreement levels. For instance, a 7-point Likert Scale Chart has up to 7 options for each question.

In the coming section, we’ll show you how to present survey results using the Likert Scale.

Also, we’ll unveil to you the tested and recommended add-in you can install in Excel to access survey result presentation-based visualizations, such as Likert and CSAT Score Bar Charts.

You don’t want to miss this.

Excel is one of the popular tools of visualization among business owners, offering various options such as the Mosaic plot to help analyze and present data effectively.

However, it lacks ready-made survey results presentation-based visualizations, such as the Likert Scale.

We’re not advising you to do away with Excel.

There’s an amazingly affordable tool that comes as an add-in you can easily install in Excel to access ready-to-go and easy-to-read survey results presentation-based visualizations, such as Likert.

The tool is called ChartExpo.

What do you mean by survey data?

Survey data is the information collected from target respondents.

You have multiple methods at your disposal if your goal is to gather survey data for further analysis.

You can use diverse mediums to gather feedback and opinions from the desired sample of your niche market.

What is the primary purpose of the survey?

Surveys can help you gauge the representativeness of your target market’s views and opinions.

When done well, they provide reliable insights into people’s opinions and sentiments that can be used to make crucial decisions.

Visualize survey responses using charts and graphs, such as the CSAT Score Bar and Likert Charts.

People want data before deciding. But they want it in a form that’s appealing to their emotions.

How do you serve data in a compelling and easy-to-understand form?

Assume you’ve just gathered survey responses. But you’re stuck in the trenches. You don’t know how to turn these responses into compelling data stories.

Survey responses are complex and may have qualitative and numerical data. This requires you to change your strategy during the analysis phase.

We recommend you try these charts, namely CSAT Score Bar, Customer Satisfaction, and Likert Scale Charts.

These survey-based charts and graphs are tailor-made to help extract in-depth insights into your responses.

5 Examples of How to Present Survey Results to Stakeholders

When you’ve lovingly designed, built, and distributed your survey and responses start flooding in, it’s time to begin the process of sorting and analyzing the data you’ll be presenting to stakeholders.

Once you’ve weeded the unusable responses, begin recording relevant responses through your survey platform or in a spreadsheet. If you use survey software like CheckMarket , you can easily transfer data into visuals with pre-built reports and dashboards.

Decide your data groups. Was the survey just answering one over-arching question? Or do you have multiple areas covered? Represent each data group separately.

For each result, provide additional information such as why you conducted the survey, what questions you were trying to answer, how the results help businesses, and any surprising answers.

When you have the data separated, the next step is to identify and prioritize the information your stakeholders will most want to see.

Choosing the Right Data to Share

First things first: who is your audience? Is it your boss? Is it your peers? Is it your direct clients or customers? The information that clients want to see, for instance, may be completely different to what your boss is interested in. The information you choose to share will vary drastically depending on the campaign you’re working on.

For example, if you’re working on a new marketing campaign, your audience may be interested in how you plan on advertising your business and what perks that may bring them.

However, when it comes to your stakeholders, they will be less interested in the customer perks, and more interested in how this new campaign will work for the business. They might want to know:

How is it going to grow your audience?
How will it turn them from leads to paying customers?
How can this help improve your business’s bottom line?

When you’re presenting results, clearly define the purpose of the survey and why it matters to your stakeholders. Your story should be specific and concise.

Raise vital questions early on and have the answers ready to go. Your stakeholders have a limited amount of time to listen to what you have to say – make sure you are making the most of it.

This means you’ll have to pick and choose your data results carefully. All results need to be relevant and essential. Your stakeholders will be interested in information that makes a difference. And you’ll want the answers to be presented in the easiest way possible – which is why you want to choose your display method carefully.

5 Ways to Display Your Survey Results

When you present results, you are looking to be clear, simple, and memorable. So, viewers should not have to ask you to explain your results.

Here are five common ways to present your survey results to businesses, stakeholders, and customers.

1. Graphs and Charts

Graphs and charts summarize survey results in a quick, easy graphic for people to understand. Some of the most common types of graphs include:

Bar graphs are the most popular way to display results. Easily create, customize, and show results. Most people also know how to read a basic bar graph to interpret survey results.
Line graphs show how results change over time by tracking the ups and downs of the data.
Pie charts show the breakup of a whole into sections. For example, your whole could be the total number of respondents, and the sections represent percentages that answered a certain way.
Venn diagrams show the interaction between respondents and their answers. For example, overlapping circles could show the differences and similarities in responses between parents who use a product versus non-parents who use a product.

When creating a chart or graph, make the findings clear to read. Avoid too many intersecting lines and text options. If you can’t fit all the information into one graph, create several graphs rather than making one complex chart. Using colors to differentiate groups is another way to make results easy to read.

2. Infographics

Infographics add a creative twist to otherwise bland charts and graphs. A good infographic will use images to enhance the message, not distract from the data.

One survey results presentation example is to use silhouettes of people to convey a percentage of the population instead of a bar graph. This image helps those who see it connect the statistic to real people.

A word cloud is a powerful way to display open-ended question responses graphically. As more people respond with a specific word, that word will appear in the cloud – emphasizing the most relevant answers.

3. Video and Animations

People spend over 100 minutes a day watching videos – which is why marketers have tapped into this strategic area for reaching an audience. Nearly 88% of marketers say video marketing yields a strong return.

A video is a powerful tool for presenting information, including the results of your survey. You can capture your audience’s attention with motion, sound, and colorful statistics to help them remember information and react accordingly.

If you present findings through video, be aware that sharing options will be limited to platforms that can play a video – such a blog posts, websites, and PowerPoint presentations. Also, creating a PDF of the findings for people to look over at their leisure is a helpful way to support a video presentation.

4. Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets like Excel are not visually appealing, but they work well for organizing large amounts of information to create a survey results report.

While an image or video works best on websites, sometimes you may need to add more information than can fit in one picture.

Suppose you wanted to provide stakeholders or business partners with a detailed look at the survey and all the responses. A spreadsheet will allow the freedom to display all the necessary information at once. You can still use attractive infographics to summarize the findings and a video to present the report along with the spreadsheet.

5. Interactive Clickable Results

Interactive results are a fun way to allow viewers to explore results. You can also organize the findings to help break up large amounts of information.

Interactive maps are a common way to display survey results graphically. For example, results can be viewed by region when they click on a specific map area. Interactive maps and displays work best for websites and blogs.

An infographic that summarizes all the data as a global average allows people who don’t have the time to explore the map to see the information.

Customize Your Results in One Place

Time is precious in the marketing industry. You don’t want to spend days analyzing and sorting through survey results.

And you don’t have to.

By using CheckMarket, you can create, gather, and present survey results with one easy-to-use platform.

Neuraptive Therapeutics Announces Presentation of Phase 2 Topline Interim Results for NTX-001 at the 2024 American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) Annual Meeting

- Interim 24-week data from the NEUROFUSE study highlights the safety and efficacy of NTX-001 for peripheral nerve injuries.

CHESTERBROOK, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Neuraptive Therapeutics Inc., a leading biopharmaceutical company focused on novel treatments for peripheral nerve injuries, today announced that interim topline results from its ongoing Phase 2 NEUROFUSE Study will be presented at the 2024 American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) Annual Meeting, held September 19-21 in Minneapolis, MN. The presentation, titled Safety and Efficacy of NTX-001 in the Treatment of Acute Single Transected Peripheral Nerve Injuries: A Phase 2 Randomized Controlled Trial , was awarded a Top 10 Best Paper designation and will be presented by Dr. David Brogan of Washington University during the scientific paper session on Thursday, September 19.

The presentation will highlight interim findings from the 24-week analysis of the NEUROFUSE study, which evaluates the safety and efficacy of NTX-001 in patients suffering from acute, single-transected upper extremity peripheral nerve injuries. NTX-001 is a drug-device combination designed to improve the speed and durability of functional recovery when used alongside standard surgical repair. These results represent an important milestone in the continued development of NTX-001 as a novel treatment option for peripheral nerve injuries.

Key interim findings at 24 weeks include:

NTX-001 demonstrated a significant improvement in MHQ total scores at 8- and 24 weeks post-operation compared to standard of care alone
There were no safety findings associated with the use of NTX-001
At all-time points, patients treated with NTX-001 demonstrated significantly reduced post-operative pain compared with SOC alone.

These results underscore the potential of NTX-001 to enhance functional recovery in peripheral nerve injury patients and support further development.

According to Dr. Brogan, lead author on the paper and primary investigator at Washington University in St. Louis, “traumatic peripheral nerve transections are an unsolved problem in hand and upper extremity surgery, and the potential use of PEG fusion to meet this challenge has gained considerable interest among clinicians who deal with these devastating injuries. This data demonstrating improvement in pain and patient-reported outcomes is an exciting first step in addressing the needs of these patients.”

“We are pleased to share these promising interim results from our Phase 2 trial of NTX-001 at such an important Scientific conference, and look forward to sharing full study results at future scientific conferences,” said Evan Tzanis, Chief Operating Officer and Head of R&D at Neuraptive Therapeutics, Inc. “We are immensely grateful to all those involved in this study, including the investigators, supporting staff at the clinical sites, our team, and most importantly, the patients who participated in the study,” said Tzanis.
