Selecting presentation formats for different stakeholders

Different stakeholders need different ways to understand your audit findings. Choosing the right format can mean the difference between action and inaction on your recommendations.

Here are key considerations when selecting presentation formats:

• Executive leadership: Provide concise executive summaries focusing on business impact, ROI, and strategic implications.
• Design teams: Deliver detailed breakdowns with specific examples, screenshots, screen videos, and technical specifications.
• Product managers: Balance business metrics with user experience impacts, highlighting prioritization frameworks.
• Developers: Include implementation-focused documentation with clear technical requirements and constraints.
• Cross-functional stakeholders: Create modular presentations where sections can be emphasized or minimized based on audience composition.

Use dashboards for data-oriented stakeholders, journey maps for customer experience teams, and before/after mockups for visually-oriented audiences.

Consider which deliverables best serve your audience: slide decks, interactive prototypes, written reports, or facilitated workshops.
