Follow the steps in this illustrated flow chart to understand the process of slide deck production.

Slide Deck Production Process

1. Develop draft presentation. Download the presentation template (PowerPoint) from the CTPS intranet Presentation page and create your presentation.
2. Send slides to [email protected]. Email slides to all Graphics staff ([email protected]). Graphics will review the presentation, checking for inconsistencies and quality (resolution) of images, adding images where applicable, and suggesting transition and layout improvements. Then Graphics will return the presentation to the author.
3. Address suggestions. Review Graphics’ suggestions or changes. Send the slides back to Graphics as needed for additional corrections or changes.
4. Send slides to [email protected]. Email slides to all Editorial staff ([email protected]). Editorial will review the presentation, checking for typos, spelling, grammar, syntax, correct use of CTPS and MPO style, and proper use of acronyms. Then Editorial will return the presentation to the author.
5. Address changes. Review Editorial’s suggestions and changes. If needed, return the PowerPoint to Editorial for additional corrections or changes until the presentation is final.
6. Send slide deck for compilation. Send finalized PowerPoint to MPO Activities Assistant Planner for compiling into the composite meeting slide deck by 12PM the day before the meeting.
