Business systems strategy and advice: How to make a stunning PowerPoint presentation
Bristol, UK ( NewDesignWorld ) February 24, 2009 -Creating a PowerPoint presentation can be a frustrating task. Equally frustrating is sitting through a boring and confusing PowerPoint presentation. The tragedy is that often terrible PowerPoint presentations have still had a large amount of time, money and effort invested in them.
In a recent business TV show produced by online television network yourBusinessChannel, Kelly Thompson of iStockphoto shares his best business ideas for creating a PowerPoint business systems strategy (http://www.yourbusinesschannel.com/section/systems) that will lead to a successful presentation, every time.
According to Thompson, the trick to a memorable and interesting PowerPoint presentation is to keep it simple. Use as few bullet points as possible and always aim to use PowerPoint to enhance what you are saying, rather than replicate it.
A great systems strategy for a successful PowerPoint presentation is to tell a story. While you are using your speech to give information, have the slides tell a story. This will engage the audience in two ways.
One of Thompson’s best business ideas (http://www.yourbusinesschannel.com/portal/istockphoto) is to use metaphors. In the show, he gives the example of using an image of a sports car to represent speed and a dump truck to represent hauling ability.
Once you have mastered a systems strategy which includes images, you may like to vary your presentations by using small amounts of video. This is a great way to engage the audience and share your best business ideas.
For more information on how to create a stunning PowerPoint presentation, see Thompson’s show on yourBusinessChannel. The show is one in a series based around marketing and design and contains some of his best business ideas and systems strategies to improve this aspect of your business.
