Are you talking about in the planning process or when the material is actually being presented? I agree with you that some of the points about failure do overlap a bit. Another way of handling this presentation, would be to "chunk" several points together to form one point. See more about this here http://www.speakingaboutpresenting.com/content/edit-presentation/.

In case of the nine failure points, I would go through them one by one without putting a structure upfront. In the end though you could put a slide that summarizes everything in less than 9 items, some of these points overlap slightly.
