[...] I can use for a presentation I’ve been working on today. It’s my first attempt at the more pictures than words approach, although it does have bullet points as well- I don’t think my target audience is ready to [...]

[...] As has been my style recently, I have gone for an image-heavy/text-light presentation. This means flicking through the slides will give you only the vaguest hint of what I’m trying to get at. If you open the slideshow itself and click the “comments on slide x” tab you can view the speaker notes (which are a hint at what I’m likely to say). For the ultra-compact version, here’s the rough structure: [...]

[...] After lunch, I gave pretty much a repeat performance of my presentation at Serious Virtual Worlds last week. It was quite interesting to find myself talking to an audience of Southern region public sector IT management people about Kent County Council banning access to Facebook for its employees. It struck me over lunch that people from that council would be in the room, and there were indeed one or two. Sadly I didn’t get to chat with them afterwards, but I was careful to be sensitive rather than confrontational on the benefits of social networking, and also about firewalls. Rather than ranting about the need to give employees freedom to make up their own minds how to spend their time at work, I shared the example of my own corporate firewall and how it’s openness (at least from within; I can get to anything I need or want to without having to request specific ports be enabled or sites be whitelisted) is what allows me to innovate and is part of what keeps me at IBM.

[...] I know what I want to say to them. Much of it came out a bit early on a more academic crowd last week. Yes, as you can probably already tell that I’m planning to re-use a fair bit of the presentation I gave last week. Since I’ve got an extra 10 minutes I’ve thrown a few new slides in for good measure and will, as ever, adjust the message according to the audience. [...]

Another very, very good presentation Roo. Thanks for sharing. I picked up a number of ideas and directions for my thinking.

Wow. Both Luis and Dennis have mentioned the presentation. My thanks to both of them for their kind words. "a very nice intro to the overall topic of how social networking tools are changing the corporate landscape" and "Not a single bullet pointed Powerpoint slide to be seen (yay.)" indeed! Thanks guys.

I loved this. The no-bullets, image-heavy style has really grown on me recently.

I’ve tried it myself for my last couple of presentations, but I haven’t got the portfolio of photos to choose from or the eye for flickr pics to really pull it off! Not yet anyway… gotta find an excuse to do another presentation to give it another try. :-)

Cheers Smack. You’re right about Flickr. It’s a fantastic place.
