Structure your presentation as though you were solving a fascinating puzzle.
Start by describing the complex situation the audience faces, and the problem within it.  Then, paint a picture of the benefits if only the puzzle could be solved.  Ask the question, “What can we do?” or “How can we get there?” and then offer your solution. The bulk of your presentation would be your explanation of your solution. 

In this way, you create attention and interest in your topic by linking it to our primordial fascination with puzzles and problem solving.
