- 6. Problems This image istaken from an article entitled “We Have Met the Enemy, and He Is PowerPoint,” published in the New York Times on April 26, 2010. It originated from a presentation to General Stanley A. McChrystal, leader of the NATO forces in Afghanistan, and “was meant to portray the complexity of American military strategy.” The visual aid becomes a confusing, visual nightmare of colors, words, arrows, and cryptic acronyms that obscures rather than enlightens the intended message. Even a distinguished General with expertise in military strategy and wellversed in the language used to describe the complex structures, procedures and considerations of war was completely baffled by the slide, saying, “When we understand that slide, we’ll have won the war.” If you haven’t guessed by now, this slide is yet another example of what NOT TO DO.
