DELIVERING TECHNICAL BRIEFINGS

A technical briefing is a speech that conveys technical information to a specific
audience, usually in a workplace.

Technical briefings should be presented in a way that allows an audience to understand 
and apply critical information. Technical briefings can range from an engineer
briefing a group of managers on a current project, to a retail supervisor explaining
 a new company policy to the store employees. Follow the steps below to ensure
your technical briefings are as effective as they can be:

• Know your audience. Avoid using too much industry jargon or material that is 

too technical for your colleagues to easily understand.

• State the purpose of the technical briefing in one or two sentences and use this 

summary as the focal point for the entire presentation.

• Arrange the material into an outline containing an introduction, 

main points and a conclusion.

• Summarize the main points of the technical briefing during the conclusion.
