Designing for Awareness in the Attention EconomyBrian Sullivan
Your customers have a finite set of awareness as they are trying to sift through competing messages in multiple channels. Marketers and designers that understand the various levels of human attention and how you can design more effectively for attention will reach their audience.
Taylor Cowan and Brian Sullivan presented this presentation at SxSW 2012 to a standing room only crowd.
You know what they say happens to you and me when we assume. Let's not get caught in that trap. Find methods to help you challenge assumptions and uncover better ideas. These quick workflow fixes can help you address where you should ask more questions, find different answers, work better as a team, and - ultimately - create better products and services. We will walk through a series of activities that can be applied to your creative development process to build more functional, engaging, and user-centered work and help your teams be more productive, goal-oriented, and inquisitive. These activities will vary in complexity - some as quick as 5 minutes, some more in-depth that require a couple of hours of work - but all are geared at helping you find something actionable that you can add to your toolkit.
Structured Ideation and Design Thinkinggaylecurtis
At the heart of a design thinking process is ideation, the capability for generating and relating ideas.
Brainstorming is a frequently practiced form of ideation, and this presentation describes the four rules of classic brainstorming. It also gives guidance for how to structure brainstorm sessions to drive direct and indirect benefits.
Our workshop titled “Inspiring Creativity” then built on this by providing attendees a first-hand opportunity to practice Lextant’s Prime, Dream, Create approach to participatory design.

Fast forward to 2012, I would not use this again for the simple reason that I did not communicate enough about the audience who heard this. I made the #1 presentation mistake...making this more about yourself than your audience. I leave this example here to remind myself to not make the same error again and to hopefully help someone else learn from my mistake.

Handout for "Proven Presentation Techniques", an InfoComm approved workshop b...Thomas Zangerle
This workshop will show you how you can transform your ideas into convincing interactive presentations. The most important elements of successful presentations, training sessions and meetings are straightforward to name, but not always quite so easy to implement. It's essential for the presenter to capture and maintain the attention of the audience, to present effectively, create interest, encourage excitement and to captivate the participants. In this training session we will explore how you can increase understanding and retention in a presentation. You will receive background information based on scientific research, about improving communication techniques and about the workings of the brain. You will also see examples of best practices, effective communication, and presentation designs, all of which contribute to the creation of long-lasting impressions.

– where are they coming from?
– what do they need to know?
• Message
– what are the most important things to get across?
• Presenter
– how to present with impact?
• Medium
– what’s the most effective medium to use?
– how to control it?
8
9. Assess Yourself: What Would You
Like to Focus On?
• Audience? Message?
• Presenter? Medium?
• Other?
– In writing these on your audit
handout, consider the pre-
reading for the workshop, esp.
designing presentations
(ch. 1), and presentation
stages (ch. 2)

14. Ned Herrmann and Whole-Brain
Thinking
• Research dating from 1976
• Brain research; research into the source of creativity
• Led to measurement of “brain dominance”--preferred
modes of thinking
• Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI)
• Whole brain model: four distinct thinking
styles
• Results applicable to self-understanding, creativity,
teaching and learning, team building, more

18. Things to Notice about the
Whole Brain Model and …
(1) KNOWING YOURSELF AS A PRESENTER
(2) KNOWING YOUR AUDIENCE
18
19. Knowing Ourselves as Presenters and
Using Our Whole Brains
• We all have all four quadrants of the brain and their
capabilities
• Each of us, over our lifetimes, develop preferred ways
of thinking, communicating, solving problems, making
decisions: we have styles
• No style of thinking is “better” than another; all are
appropriate in different situations
• You are not “stuck” with your preferred style: you
can optimize your ability to think, solve problems, and
communicate using different styles
19
See handout: Sample HBDI individual profile
20. Knowing Your Audience: Expect Them to
Have Different Thinking and Learning Styles
• Who are you and
who do you
want/need to be with
this audience?
• How do you want to
speak with them?

22. What Does This Mean for Making Presentations?
1. How do we present ourselves?
– Our four selves : learning, working, social, and creative
(see handout)
– Be self aware
– We bench our other selves when we don’t use them. Bring
your whole brain with you!
1. How are we perceived when we present, and
how well do people learn from us?
– Consider how the different brain dominance models affect
how people learn
– Present to all “four audiences” (scientists, “professors,”
friends, inventors -- aka logical, organized, interpersonal
and conceptual thinkers)
22
24. Second Exercise (20 minutes)
• Activity:
1. Each individual: Review the
slides for this section, then
create a one sentence
summary of how using
“whole brain thinking” can
W- B-
improve presentation design H- R-
and delivery (5 minutes)
2. Group: Using your O- or A-
summaries, create an
acronym for either “whole”
L- I-
or “brain” (10 minutes) E- N-
3. Write results on flip chart;
presenters numbered “2”
report out – 1 minute Have some fun with this!
only!
24
27. Where Does Presentation Quality
Come From?
“All presentations are made twice.” Garmston and
27
Wellman 1992, 1
28. Event Design
See Handout
28
Garmston and Wellman 1992, 13: Event Design figure
29. Breaking Down the Event Design
• Purpose
– 1. Who’s coming?
– 2. What outcomes for audience by end of event?
• Design
– 1. Openings
– 2. Body: How much content, how much
interaction?
– 3. Closings
• Conveying the message – content +
interaction, whole brain + whole body
29
31. How much content?
• Too much content is worse
than too little!!! Sustained
• “The presenter’s content has passive
limited value unless
audiences understand it.” listening
• In longer presentations,
listeners need processing
time
• Processing time at 15 to
20 minute intervals?
(Garmston and Wellman 1992, 17-20) 31
34. How Much Time Do You Have?
• Make sure your content and interactions fit!
• Making a time-based agenda can help;
practicing can help
• Be aware of your key messages and focus on
these
• Be ready to skip over “nice to include” parts if
you start running short

effectively…
• Design your presentations
• Communicate with your whole brain
• Communicate with your whole body

42. Instructions
1. Presenters numbered “3”: Choose a topic from 1 to
6, then choose an audience from A to F (2 minutes)
– Deliberately pair your topic with an unexpected audience
1. Group: work with your presenter to design a 1-
minute, whole brain, whole body presentation*
(10 minutes)
2. Presenters: Give 1 minute presentations on your
topic, to your chosen audience (3 x 1 = 3 minutes)
3. All: Have fun with this! It’s ok to exaggerate. The
intent is not to evaluate the presenter or the content,
but to play with some of the key ideas
*Hints: Steps 1 and 3 of the “Event Design” slide (slide 29) might be helpful, along
42
with slides 15 and 16, and the “Insanely Great” handout under “Create the story”
43. As You Prepare, Some Things to
Ask Yourself …
• What does this audience expect of me?
• How much time do I have?
• How am I going to grab their attention?
• What is/are the key message(s)?
• What is the structure or frame?
– E.g., question-answer, “three ideas,” problem-
solution …
– How much content, how much interaction?
43
45. What Did We Do Today?
• Completed a self-audit
– Did we cover your chosen areas of focus?
• Introduced a “whole brain thinking” model
• Discussed the application of the model to designing and
delivering presentations
• Discussed presentation design, selecting and structuring
content, encouraging active learning, and nonverbal
communication
• Practiced being insanely great presenters
• Coming up: Evaluate “audience-message-presenter-medium”
aspects of a short presentation by Kurt Vonnegut
