How to use the SCQA framework to structure your presentation and engage your audience

Editors

The SCQA framework is a useful tool for structuring your presentation and engaging your audience. Here are some steps to use the SCQA framework in your presentation:

1. Start with the Situation: Begin your presentation by setting the stage and providing context for your topic. This helps your audience understand the background and relevance of your presentation.

2. Introduce the Complication: Next, introduce the complication or problem that you are addressing. This creates a sense of urgency and helps your audience understand why your topic is important.

3. Pose a Question: Ask a question that frames your presentation and captures your audience’s attention. This question should be relevant to your topic and should encourage your audience to think critically about the information you are presenting.

4. Provide the Answer: Finally, provide the answer to your question and offer a solution to the problem you introduced earlier. This should be the main focus of your presentation and should be presented clearly and concisely.

By using the SCQA framework, you can structure your presentation in a way that is clear, engaging, and informative. This framework is widely used in business, policy, science, and presentations, among others, and can help you communicate complex information in a simple and understandable format[2][3][4][6].
