In that sense, richly contextualise the message that you want to send out to the audience.<BR/><BR/>How does a few words on a slide, interspersed with a cleverly dug up adfilm or film clip differ from this? Well, it gives the person more room to maneuver more easily between thoughts, and give room for more creative expression.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32930145.post-63298093172102223502007-05-31T18:52:00.000+05:302007-05-31T18:52:00.000+05:30for a three day training program on media for our ...for a three day training program on media for our advertising planners, the only stipulation i laid was that there would be not a single powerpoint. so the team came up with such innovative ways to train their colleagues on media concepts, it was most illuminating - they used treasure hunts, treadmills, a mini fashion show, rock climbing, a campfire...it was absolutely terrific..and tiring but the participants found it exhilarating. powerpoints can be very limiting. liked your post.Smiling Dolphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07048021272809005803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32930145.post-13144235301954685402007-05-29T22:45:00.000+05:302007-05-29T22:45:00.000+05:30Kapil - will compare notes after you complete 10 y...Kapil - will compare notes after you complete 10 years in the business:-)<BR/><BR/>Reshma - yes thats a good addition...<BR/><BR/>thanks guys!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231391499541540584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32930145.post-7210653992375444742007-05-29T22:37:00.000+05:302007-05-29T22:37:00.000+05:30Like the contrast...though I find working on power...Like the contrast...though I find working on power point fun sometimes - when one has the luxury of time <BR/> <BR/>To add to your list of contrasts - Power point presentations - progress in a linear fashion...conversations do not necessarilyReshma Bachwanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914825345247853788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32930145.post-72319427397137774842007-05-29T19:35:00.000+05:302007-05-29T19:35:00.000+05:30Power-point The name itself says that you put only...Power-point The name itself says that you put only the most powerful "points" in there. <B>So I see using power-points more like conversation starters. </B><BR/><BR/>For example I love the way Tom Peters shapes his presentations.
