Don't build your presentation in PowerPoint until you have met most (preferably all of) the following criteria
You are clear on who the audience is
What they are hoping to learn from the presentation
What is the current level of knowledge / gaps in the audience
How much time you have
How interactive / directive the meeting needs to be
What you want them to know at the end of the presentation
How you / the audience will measure success
With the above in mind then get a pen and paper and write out a bullet list of each section and then sub bullet what points you want to make
THEN you can open PowerPoint and start to build your presentation
