Creating Presentations That Matter - A 1-day workshop (May 4th) at SVCAshley Bright
There is not excuse for uninteresting, poorly executed and downright bad presentations. In my mind this is simply unacceptable, and something that needs to be rectified.
To that end I taught a 1-Day workshop, this is the second iteration of the workshop, in which I presented this deck along with a series of group exercises.
Please feel free to download and share this as needed. Together we can put an end to this scourge of bad presentations. :-)

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

56. A story of an African Safari
An adventure experienced by three
little boys.
PARTONE
57. 57
It wasNovember 2006….
The three boyswere
together in the back of
the car. It washot and
sticky. They had been
driving a long time. They
were getting kind of
cranky but Taz kept
reminding the other two
that they were about to
see LOTSOFAFRICAN
ANIMALS.
He knew, because Ouma had
told him so.
58. 58
Oupa suggested a
contest: the first one to
see an animal would be
the winner. He explained
that it wasan old family
tradition.
And then, Leon saw what
looked like a stick on the
side of the road….
59. 59
“No,” said Taz, look, it’s moving…it IS a
snake!”
“SNAKE!!!” Leon
shouted.
“Nonsense,” said
Daniel. That’sjust a
silly old stick.”
60. 60
Looking out different windows
When Papa looked out the window on hisside
of the car, he could see this.
When Mama looked out the window on HER
side of the car, she could see this.
There was a snake AND a stick.
61. 61
Which snake do you think it is?
Me! It is me! I’m a puff adder. The
book says I’m ‘large, thick bodied,
sluggish, broad head is covered in
small scales. Tail very short. Body
scales rough. Body yellowish to
light brown with numerous dark
chevrons… active at dusk, Up to 30
young born in late summer. May
give deep warning hiss. Bites
readily. Venom causes swelling
and pain, occasionally death. Found
throughout Africa.’
62. 62
The snake in the picture wasthe first
puffadder that Ouma had ever seen. She had
to ask her brother, Guillaume, what kind of
snake it was. Guillaume isa hiker and a
mountaineer so he knowsmore about snakes
than she does. He immediately knew the
answer.
63. 63
DoesLeon win?Isa
snake an animal?
No! I’m a banana, not a
snake. (How can I get them
to come closer so I can
SHOW THEM my FANGS?)
A snake is a reptile.
Reptiles are members of the animal kingdom.
So yes, Leon won – the snake IS an animal.
64. 64
The way to avoid puff addersisto look in the
path in front of you when you walk and to
make a small amount of noise – like tapping a
stick against the rocksin the path. The puff
adder then getsa fright and getsout of your
way.
(Shouting isa BAD IDEA because then it
frightensall the other animalsaway too.)
65. 65
But what about the stick on the other
side of the car?
No, a stick is not an animal. A stick
comes from a tree, so it is part of a
plant.
HOWEVER, a stick can be an insect.
During their exploration of the camp the
boys saw several stick insects.
BUT THIS STICK? It is a very special
thing. It is a message – a signal.
There’s one animal in the African bush
that likes breaking such leafy sticks off
trees to carry around until they get
bored, then they drop them. The boys
soon found out what that animal is….
68. 68
Elephantsare MUCH bigger in real life than the
onesone seeson TV.
Elephantsin Kruger Park are very used to cars
and busesand sometimeswill allow usto get
quite close to them – THEN you can see exactly
how big they are.
69. 69
You can tell how recently an elephant
passed by, based on the elephant
dung.
Can you guesshow?
Or
Maybe you already know?
If you don’t and would like
to, ask your father.
70. 70
They carried on driving…..
Although it wasvery hot, Uncle Eric
(Dad, to you, Daniel!) insisted that they kept the
windowsopen and the air conditioner off.
“Only with the windows open will you
hear the birds and the insects and
smell the bushveld smells,” he said.
71. 71
The boys decided to have a counting competition – each had to
pick a species, and the one who counted the most members of
that species on a day would be the winner. Guess who picked
the impala to count?
81. 81
And ME – Baz saw me
too, and pointed me out
to the boys. He asked
them what was the
difference between a
turtle and a tortoise and
THEY DIDN’T KNOW!
Imagine that!
90. years went by it seems so long ago
but at the same time i can’t let you go
i can’t seem to get over the fact
that you’re gone
i keep expecting you to show up for
more laughs and fun
91. 91
you were such a young person and you opened my
eyes
Always a legend you will be in my eyes

“ Web 2.0 is an attitude not a technology.
It’s about enabling and encouraging

By open I mean technically open with
appropriate APIs but also, more
importantly, socially open, with rights

Real time collaboration and updating provides a very different feel to the web than static or even dynamic web pages. You feel the social presence of people something we are used to in real life. For example, I am standing here, and I can see, feel, hear all of you. For example, take a look at DiggSpy, where you can watch what people have been digging.
This allows a whole new level of socability. It lets you feel the presence of groups of people.
So what is social sharing. Lets start with what its not. Its not the social networks of 2001. How many of you are on Frienster and LinkedIN. How many of you have sent that awkward sounding email to your friends. Hi I found you while
Lets go back, back to 2001. Back to the beginning of social networks. Remember the excitement. How many of you have seen such a diagram? How many of you are a member of such a network?
But how do we really connect?
Overview of Web 2.0 and introduction to Virtual Worlds
So what is Web 2.0? A quick overview…
http://web2con.com – O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 conference first ran in October 2004
Theme: “The Web as Platform”
&quot;While the first wave of the Web was closely tied to the browser, the second wave extends applications across the web and enables a new generation of services and business opportunities.&quot;
“You have to remember that every revolution occurs in stages, and often isn&apos;t recognized till long after the new world is in place.”
“There might be a better name (I tried internet operating system on for size starting back in 2000), but the fact that Web 2.0 has caught on says that it&apos;s as good a term as any.”
(Tim O’Reilly - http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/08/not_20.html)
See http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html for the original
See http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.htmlfor the original
Here is a depiction of Web 2.0 as a growing cultural organism with the tools, standards and techniques enabling it in blue on the top and some of the key characteristics of the organism on the bottom
- simplicity (light-weight programming models) Only easy things will continue to propagate (PHP)
- community-development is represented here in “software that gets better with the more people use it” and “harnessing the collective intelligence”
- move to web services that are published on the web, not hardened and shrink wrapped
- assembly of consumable pieces which enable architectural participation from end-users and the community
- again bandwidth, graphics, and graphic app models are driving users to demand rich user experiences - drag and drop, location based visualizations, the end of command line text windows!
====================
Google, by contrast, began its life as a web application, never sold or packaged, but delivered as a service. Customer paid for the service, directly or indirectly
No scheduled software releases, just continuous improvement. No licensing or sale, just usage. No porting to different platforms so that customers can run the software on their own equipment, just a massively scalable collection of commodity PCs running open source operating systems plus homegrown applications and utilities that no one outside the company ever gets to see.
At bottom, Google requires a competency: database management, not a collection of software tools, it&apos;s a specialized database. Without the data, the tools are useless; without the software, the data is unmanageable. Software licensing and control over APIs--the lever of power in the previous era--is irrelevant because the software never need be distributed but only performed, and also because without the ability to collect and manage the data, the software is of little use.
In fact, the value of the software is proportional to the scale and dynamism of the data it helps to manage.
Much like a phone call, which happens not just on the phones at either end of the call, but on the network in between, Google happens in the space between browser and search engine and destination content server, as an enabler or middleman between the user and his or her online experience.
Other important Web 2.0 themes:
Rich user experience
Emergence
Play
Archicture of participation
Harnessing collective intelligence
Perpetual beta
One opinion of Web 2.0
What will come post-web 2.0?
Web 3.0
Web3
3D Internet
Virtual Worlds

A lot of attention of Virtual Worlds
Gamers are increasing in number, and buying power
IBM by no means dominant here, but starting to show a real interest……
Virtual Worlds are an emerging opportunity for a wide range of activities, including marketing, online commerce and services. Popular non-game Virtual World platforms (such as Second Life) are expanding fast with thriving economies. We are seeing the beginnings of the exploitation of the market, with the BBC, sporting events, high-street names and web brands announcing their involvement.
This continues the shift from a passive audience to an engaged, interactive population
Virtual Worlds are the web, rendered in interactive 3D. They could mark the start of the next phase of web technology.

Virtual Worlds are the web, rendered in interactive 3D. They could mark the start of the next phase of web technology.
More than 50% users are in Europe
10% of users have remained for 40 hours or more
These stats are usually out of date. Try secondlife.com to check the latest figures.
The BBC, who are frequently early adopters, announced an event in Second Life in May 2006. The streaming video from the One Big Weekend event (being held in Dundee) was shown in-world to provide people with another means of following the action.
The key thing here is the party happening in the foreground. People are dancing, showing off and chatting.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4766755.stm
The BBC also did a Second Life session for their Newsnight programme around January 2006. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/4583924.stm). In 2007, Newsnight caught up with some IBMers for a segment in their show http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/6241879.stm#cyber
Major League Baseball (MLB.com) paid the Electric Sheep Company for a virtual baseball stadium to host the Home Run Derby event.
I’m not a baseball fan, but even I was hooked enough by the lively atmosphere that staying up until 2am UK time was well worth it.

IBM is already interested in virtual worlds for several reasons
1.) internal collaboration and communications
2.) external reach to our clients and their customers
3.) research. 3D Internet as a future web-like model. Driving adoption of (and creation of, if necessary) standards
IBM already runs various meetings inside SL. We can’t share confidential material using SL (since the servers are not run by IBM), but it’s a useful place to socialise and confidential matters can always be discussed over the telephone while being augmented by avatar interactions
Difficulties with conference calls
Uncomfortable video conferences
Using an avatar gives freedom of expression, and seems to break down barriers.
GreaterIBM is an initiative to connect past and present IBMers. We’ve already been using virtual world to augment real world activities — since we can’t always travel to meet with each other, the virtual world allows us to meet in a setting that is more like real life, and collaborating and networking in these immersive environments
The IBM Alumni block party (for The Greater IBM Connection, http://greateribm.com) was a great success, and Greater IBM continues to actively explore how to use virtual worlds to bring past and present employees together.
Sam Palmisano appeared in avatar form to address IBMers regarding the results of the Innovation Jam. One outcome was funding for a ‘3D Internet’ project (http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/20605.wss)
The 12 island complex (194 acres of land) is IBM’s big public presence in Second Life. It has various projects within it, including…
three huge meeting spaces (each capable of seating over 200 people)
The House of Horizons project: This collaborative project is a Danish initiative from a number of international organisations that seek to experiment with virtual world benefits to real world activities and vice versa. Through a series of Second Life based facilities and a variety of tenants, House of Horizons explores the new opportunities that arise when normal physical factors and geography are suspended and replaced by a digital reality. House of Horizons founding partners are: Danish based Innovation Lab, IBM, and Computerworld Denmark, in association with the Danish architectural firm Arkitema.
A meeting place for the IBM ‘Virtual Universe Community’, already over 1000 IBMers.
‘SOA hub’ is the early stages of a build we plan to fully unveil in January. It is an example of how you can use the 3D, immersive worlds to simplify the complex by “showing” people these concepts and allowing them to experience them through 3D interactions that explain business concepts in a more easy to understand way. The lessons we learn in running this sort of event can be passed on to our clients too; we will apply what we are developing here from an education and training standpoint to all sorts of other areas and for our clients.
We’ve partnered with Circuit City to explore and experiment with how we can apply virtual worlds to their business — from doing business inside of virtual worlds to connecting the virtual world with the real world to create a richer, more immersive Web environment. This early build of a virtual Circuit City store is an area where we are experimenting with how to enrich a user experience by using virtual worlds to augment both the Web experience and the real world experience. Other immersive features that IBM and Circuit City are experimenting with include an interactive home theater, where customers can easily recreate their own home environment to do things like setting up a home theater — users can easily move a couch at the proper distance from where they want to put a new TV, and it automatically tells them the optimal size TV to purchase for their room dimensions, and eventually will add other features like where to place speakers for a surround sound system. As with everything in the IBM complex, we’re keen to get client and public feedback so it can improve over time.
Build for Sears (see http://www.3pointd.com/20070108/ibm-brings-sears-to-second-life-at-ces)
From July 2006, a quick prototype build by Emerging Technology Services for the Wimbledon tennis championships.
It involved displaying the path of the ball (thanks to the ‘Hawkeye’ data captured on-court) as well as clothing and even flying towels.
The Australian Open project brings the Hawkeye data feed idea explored for the Wimbledon demo into a full one island (16 acre) build, with all aspects of the Oz Open from the shop to the scoreboard to the tennis court with players which move with the real data feed.
Encourages independence
Takes advantage of tacit knowledge

IBM already runs various meetings inside SL. We can’t share confidential material using SL (since the servers are not run by IBM), but it’s a useful place to socialise and confidential matters can always be discussed over the telephone while being augmented by avatar interactions
Difficulties with conference calls
Uncomfortable video conferences
Using an avatar gives freedom of expression, and seems to break down barriers.
GreaterIBM is an initiative to connect past and present IBMers. We’ve already been using virtual world to augment real world activities — since we can’t always travel to meet with each other, the virtual world allows us to meet in a setting that is more like real life, and collaborating and networking in these immersive environments
The IBM Alumni block party (for The Greater IBM Connection, http://greateribm.com) was a great success, and Greater IBM continues to actively explore how to use virtual worlds to bring past and present employees together.
Sam Palmisano appeared in avatar form to address IBMers regarding the results of the Innovation Jam. One outcome was funding for a ‘3D Internet’ project (http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/20605.wss)
The 12 island complex (194 acres of land) is IBM’s big public presence in Second Life. It has various projects within it, including…
three huge meeting spaces (each capable of seating over 200 people)
The House of Horizons project: This collaborative project is a Danish initiative from a number of international organisations that seek to experiment with virtual world benefits to real world activities and vice versa. Through a series of Second Life based facilities and a variety of tenants, House of Horizons explores the new opportunities that arise when normal physical factors and geography are suspended and replaced by a digital reality. House of Horizons founding partners are: Danish based Innovation Lab, IBM, and Computerworld Denmark, in association with the Danish architectural firm Arkitema.
A meeting place for the IBM ‘Virtual Universe Community’, already over 1000 IBMers.
‘SOA hub’ is the early stages of a build we plan to fully unveil in January. It is an example of how you can use the 3D, immersive worlds to simplify the complex by “showing” people these concepts and allowing them to experience them through 3D interactions that explain business concepts in a more easy to understand way. The lessons we learn in running this sort of event can be passed on to our clients too; we will apply what we are developing here from an education and training standpoint to all sorts of other areas and for our clients.
We’ve partnered with Circuit City to explore and experiment with how we can apply virtual worlds to their business — from doing business inside of virtual worlds to connecting the virtual world with the real world to create a richer, more immersive Web environment. This early build of a virtual Circuit City store is an area where we are experimenting with how to enrich a user experience by using virtual worlds to augment both the Web experience and the real world experience. Other immersive features that IBM and Circuit City are experimenting with include an interactive home theater, where customers can easily recreate their own home environment to do things like setting up a home theater — users can easily move a couch at the proper distance from where they want to put a new TV, and it automatically tells them the optimal size TV to purchase for their room dimensions, and eventually will add other features like where to place speakers for a surround sound system. As with everything in the IBM complex, we’re keen to get client and public feedback so it can improve over time.

Other immersive features that IBM and Circuit City are experimenting with include an interactive home theater, where customers can easily recreate their own home environment to do things like setting up a home theater — users can easily move a couch at the proper distance from where they want to put a new TV, and it automatically tells them the optimal size TV to purchase for their room dimensions, and eventually will add other features like where to place speakers for a surround sound system. As with everything in the IBM complex, we’re keen to get client and public feedback so it can improve over time.

IBM already runs various meetings inside SL. We can’t share confidential material using SL (since the servers are not run by IBM), but it’s a useful place to socialise and confidential matters can always be discussed over the telephone while being augmented by avatar interactions
Difficulties with conference calls
Uncomfortable video conferences
Using an avatar gives freedom of expression, and seems to break down barriers.
GreaterIBM is an initiative to connect past and present IBMers. We’ve already been using virtual world to augment real world activities — since we can’t always travel to meet with each other, the virtual world allows us to meet in a setting that is more like real life, and collaborating and networking in these immersive environments
The IBM Alumni block party (for The Greater IBM Connection, http://greateribm.com) was a great success, and Greater IBM continues to actively explore how to use virtual worlds to bring past and present employees together.
Sam Palmisano appeared in avatar form to address IBMers regarding the results of the Innovation Jam. One outcome was funding for a ‘3D Internet’ project (http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/20605.wss)
The 12 island complex (194 acres of land) is IBM’s big public presence in Second Life. It has various projects within it, including…
three huge meeting spaces (each capable of seating over 200 people)
The House of Horizons project: This collaborative project is a Danish initiative from a number of international organisations that seek to experiment with virtual world benefits to real world activities and vice versa. Through a series of Second Life based facilities and a variety of tenants, House of Horizons explores the new opportunities that arise when normal physical factors and geography are suspended and replaced by a digital reality. House of Horizons founding partners are: Danish based Innovation Lab, IBM, and Computerworld Denmark, in association with the Danish architectural firm Arkitema.
A meeting place for the IBM ‘Virtual Universe Community’, already over 1000 IBMers.
‘SOA hub’ is the early stages of a build we plan to fully unveil in January. It is an example of how you can use the 3D, immersive worlds to simplify the complex by “showing” people these concepts and allowing them to experience them through 3D interactions that explain business concepts in a more easy to understand way. The lessons we learn in running this sort of event can be passed on to our clients too; we will apply what we are developing here from an education and training standpoint to all sorts of other areas and for our clients.

We’ve partnered with Circuit City to explore and experiment with how we can apply virtual worlds to their business — from doing business inside of virtual worlds to connecting the virtual world with the real world to create a richer, more immersive Web environment. This early build of a virtual Circuit City store is an area where we are experimenting with how to enrich a user experience by using virtual worlds to augment both the Web experience and the real world experience. Other immersive features that IBM and Circuit City are experimenting with include an interactive home theater, where customers can easily recreate their own home environment to do things like setting up a home theater — users can easily move a couch at the proper distance from where they want to put a new TV, and it automatically tells them the optimal size TV to purchase for their room dimensions, and eventually will add other features like where to place speakers for a surround sound system.

We’ve partnered with Circuit City to explore and experiment with how we can apply virtual worlds to their business — from doing business inside of virtual worlds to connecting the virtual world with the real world to create a richer, more immersive Web environment. This early build of a virtual Circuit City store is an area where we are experimenting with how to enrich a user experience by using virtual worlds to augment both the Web experience and the real world experience. Other immersive features that IBM and Circuit City are experimenting with include an interactive home theater, where customers can easily recreate their own home environment to do things like setting up a home theater — users can easily move a couch at the proper distance from where they want to put a new TV, and it automatically tells them the optimal size TV to purchase for their room dimensions, and eventually will add other features like where to place speakers for a surround sound system.

This early build of a virtual Circuit City store is an area where we are experimenting with how to enrich a user experience by using virtual worlds to augment both the Web experience and the real world experience. Other immersive features that IBM and Circuit City are experimenting with include an interactive home theater, where customers can easily recreate their own home environment to do things like setting up a home theater — users can easily move a couch at the proper distance from where they want to put a new TV, and it automatically tells them the optimal size TV to purchase for their room dimensions, and eventually will add other features like where to place speakers for a surround sound system. As with everything in the IBM complex, we’re keen to get client and public feedback so it can improve over time.

This early build of a virtual Circuit City store is an area where we are experimenting with how to enrich a user experience by using virtual worlds to augment both the Web experience and the real world experience. Other immersive features that IBM and Circuit City are experimenting with include an interactive home theater, where customers can easily recreate their own home environment to do things like setting up a home theater — users can easily move a couch at the proper distance from where they want to put a new TV, and it automatically tells them the optimal size TV to purchase for their room dimensions, and eventually will add other features like where to place speakers for a surround sound system. As with everything in the IBM complex, we’re keen to get client and public feedback so it can improve over time.
