2. Don Tapscott:
Four Principles for the open World
Don Tapscott is the chair of
Maxie Insight and has
written 14 books about
aspects of the new world.
Don takes a look at our
digital connected
hypercollaborative world.
Don can see the future
coming and he works to
identify the new concepts
that we need to understand
in a world that is
transformed by the internet.
Don is one of the world’s
leading authorities on
innovation, media, and the
economie and social impact
3. Don’s Quote:
“To me this is not an information age. It’s an
age of networked intelligence, it’s an age of
vast promise.”
5. Don captured the attention of the audience by
adding humor to a personal story he was
telling. He also captured it by relating his
speech to a topic that the vast majority of
today’s population is captivated by:
Technology through computers, internet and
social media.
6. Don maintained the attention of the audience
throughout his speech by his motivational
speaking on the openess of the world through
new technology of industrial social media. Don
also used videos showing how technology was
captivating the internet and the young people
of today’s society, along with a little humor.
7. Don followed the
majority of the
commandments in
his speech and
presentation. But, I
think he most
accurately followed
II, VI, & VIII.
8. The reason that I chose these
commandments is because he
wasn’t afraid to share his insight into
how the world is transferred by the
internet. He has a great dream of
how technology will revolutionize
this new world, he see’s into the
future. He never flaunted anything
about himself or his company, and
he never tried to sell anything from
the stage.
10. He could have related more to the audience
through humor and personal stories. Humor
would have kept the audience more alert
interested.
11. Some of the tips that were used from
Garr Reynolds and Nancy Duarte was
the use of visuals to capture the
audiences attention, and the art of
storytelling.
12. What I learned:
What I have learned about
delivery from watching Don is that
you have to capture and keep the
audiences attention. You have to
prepare your presentation to be
appealing and interesting to the
audience.
13. Remember to relate to your
audience. You can do this by
using humor and telling stories of
personal experiences. Get them
involved in your presentation as
much as possible.
15. Don Tapscott and Sir Ken Robinson differ
greatly on their speaking style. Don uses more
factual information than Ken does. He also
dosen’t have the same technique to keep the
audience engaged and entertained.
16. Sir Ken Robinson has a special way of
connecting to his audience. He keeps their
attention through humor. He uses real life
experiences through stories to keep them
laughing, this puts the audience on a closer
personal level with him.
17. Tips for Delivery of Future
Presentations
Involvement – Get the audience involved in your presentation.
Relate – Always relate to your audience through storytelling
and personal experiences.
Knowledge – Show a clear and thorough knowledge of the
topic.
Humor – Use humor to keep the audience interested and alert.
Visual – Use interesting and colorful visuals on your topic.
