  1. Avoiding Death by PowerPoint FOLIO Machiavel Course November 2007

  2. And now for slide 1…

  3. PowerPoint • Easy to use. • Effective. • Freely available. • Stylish. • Professional. • Very Good. • Easy to use. • Flexible. • Valued. • Very effective. • Widely recognised. • Easy to navigate. • Successful.

  4. What is the main problem with slide 1? [Answer on next slide]

  5. Answer • There were far too many bullet points for one slide, making it difficult for the audience to read. Also some bullet points were repeated which is not necessary.

  6. Slide 2

  7. PowerPoint • If you use all the features available you will see how exciting PowerPoint can be! • See, isn’t it exciting! • Wow! • Crazy! • Oh what fun!

  8. What is the main problem with slide 2? [Answer on next slide]

  9. Answer • Animated text was over used. This seemed to be a gimmick rather than adding anything to what was being said.

  10. Slide 3

  11. Use of PowerPoint

  12. What is the main problem with slide 3? [Answer on next slide]

  13. Answer • The graph used is far too complicated and contains too much information for one slide. It is also not really clear what the data is referring to - the numbers are not clearly labelled as to what they mean. The audience would probably not gain any useful information from this slide.

  14. Slide 4

  15. MY COMPANY We are the best! • This presentation is all about how our company utilises PowerPoint to make the most of our excellent reputation.

  16. What is the main problem with slide 4? [Answer on next slide]

  17. Answer • Although there is nothing wrong with putting your company logo on your presentation slides, this presenter has gone too far - the logo is enormous and the text is tiny. This means that all the audience see is the logo and it will be difficult for them to read the text.

  18. Slide 5

  19. Explaining PowerPoint • The purpose of this presentation is to explain exactly how PowerPoint works and how you can use it to it’s full effect, gaining you respect and admiration from your audience. • First, we will look at how to put together a PowerPoint presentation that will win friends and influence people, making you the talk of your organisation and the town.

  20. What is the main problem with slide 5? [Answer on next slide]

  21. Answer • Slide 5 has full sentences rather than brief bullet points. This is more difficult for the audience to read and gives the impression that the speaker would be just reading from the slides rather than expanding on what is written on them.

  22. Slide 6

  23. How to use PowerPoint • Open a new presentation. • Choose one of the existing templates or create your own design. • The first slide should contain the title of your presentation and your name.

  24. What is the main problem with slide 6? [Answer on next slide]

  25. Answer • The combination of the background colour and the text colour make it very difficult to read.

  26. The End
