Microsoft PowerPoint...friend or foe? This ePaper shows you how to use it to your advantage.
I have sat through far too many very average PowerPoint presentations during my twenty years in business to think that most people know how to use this necessary evil of a presentation tool. Used properly, PowerPoint can make all the difference.
However, used poorly and you set your self up for certain failure...Even embarrassment.
First and foremost we all must remember that PowerPoint is simply a tool for conveying information. Just as a hammer is tool for banging in nails. And just as a hammer requires someone to hold and use it, so to PowerPoint requires the presenter to have a clear grasp on the messages that need to be conveyed. PowerPoint can be fantastic at 'packaging up' the information, but compelling presentations still require a human being to get the key points across.

When developing our brand in 2006 the opportunity was presented by our Advertising Agency, HUB, to use the services of Tim, The Ideas Guy. The product was brand new so we needed a process for developing a brand character which would be a solid basis to build upon. There were also six brand owners so this process was also very important to make sure we were all on the same page. We found the Brand Character process extremely rewarding and worthwhile and was undoubtedly the most important part of our brand building process. In addition, the Brand Character workshop would not have been a success without the thorough exploratory approach Tim took, in addition to his enthusiastic yet relaxed style.
