8. Wrong colour scheme / Text too small / Too many animations /
Random transitions / Boring slides / Repetitive design / Data
projector won‟t work / Slides with no impact / Spent all day
adding logos to 47 slides individually / Exiting slide show to go
back a slide / Can‟t find the right slide / Attendees completely lost
/ Charts make data more difficult to understand / Tables badly
aligned / Out of date information still on a slide / Attendees wedge
their own mobile phones in their ears to muffle animation sound
effects / Slide show goes at a different pace to speaker / Speaker
can‟t remember which slide is coming up next / Room full of
people and you‟ve spilt the morning coffee over your laptop/
Wrong chart used for type of data / Dark blue text on purple
background / Purple text on dark blue background / Speaker
1. So many presentations
reads slide contents word by word / Confidential slide suddenly
appears in middle of public presentation / Nobody left awake by

the end of the presentation / Even the presenter falls asleep by the
end of the presentation / Nobody remembers the presentation

9. 2. Firms are unsure of the
