Would you put an overview slide e.g. that says...

Implications
at the beginnning of a presentation - that's a seminar presentation to 'important' people? - I feel a bit silly saying "this is what I'm going to talk about" rather than just talking about it.
Thank you - I've not included it. I don't think I will have to present anyway, but the bloke who might be presenting his own presentation might not be able to because of civil service and purdah?? - cos we haven't got a government yet, so I was told "a backup is always useful" :-s
um....I always include a slide like this. We've always been told (and I agree) that the best way to do a presentation is firstly, tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you've told them. So basically a slide to say briefly here's what I'm going to be talking about, here's all the stuff, and then a final slide to summarise everything. I prefer hearing these slides in a talk too, because then you know the structure of the talk and it's easier to focus on what the presenter is saying then.
Sorry if I've made it awkward!
