Greg didn’t respect the basic rules of a good ppt-presentation

Greg could have convinced Ajit by focusing on…

audience 1

audience! &! wants!

1! 2! 3!

…all three of them have the same cognitive limitations

start using… E C S

start using… Emotionally C S

start using… Emotionally Competent S

start using… Emotionally Competent Stimuli

…now analyze the particularities of each of your audience segments

content & structure 2

a way to start your presentation…

define the following components to clarify your message…

context: most ppt-presentations are horrible today (dbybp)

context: most ppt-presentations are horrible today (dbybp) role: you are looking for a way to improve your ppt- design skills

use the following rules to make your message stick with your audience…

define the content that should go into your ppt presentation…

use your…

audience profile [Source: adapted from Dave Gray, the visual thinking handbook]  

… then brainstorm on “what your audience really wants to know…”

audience profile [Source: adapted from Dave Gray, the visual thinking handbook]  

audience profile ?! [Source: adapted from Dave Gray, the visual thinking handbook]  

audience profile ?! ?! ?! ?! ?! ?! [Source: adapted from Dave Gray, the visual thinking handbook]  

group post-it notes together that “feel like” they belong together…

… in five columns ?! ?! ?! ?! ?! ?! ?!

give each column a title and put them in order

title! title! title! title! ?! ?! ?! ?! ?! ?! ?!

… congratulations: that’s all the content you will need

… now “inject” stories that really resonate with your audience

visual design 3

bad  example 

remember: respect your audience’s cognitive limitations…

so start using…

for example from…

BUT eliminate to the core message…

in other words…

use “white space” generously

delivery 4

capture your audience…

by frequently asking your audience questions…

by NOT sticking to…

by giving your audience short slots to interact among each other…

and don’t forget that even…

the best presenters with NO spare time…

…rehearse

…rehearse …rehearse

…rehearse …rehearse …rehearse
