Death by Bullets: Pitching Projects without Powerpoint Poisoning

BookCampTO Session Notes from “Death by Bullets: Pitching Projects without Powerpoint Poisoning” by Michael Tamblyn

When developing a presentation you need to know the desired outcome.

What goes into preparing? Some people start with a story, some with the 5 Ws.

Michael manscapes the presentation—he starts with something big and hairy and sculpts it down. He’s looking for shape.

As a presenter you need to be aware of time, of bringing people along with you, of the high point of the presentation when you need full attention and of interludes if required due to length.

Powerpoint suggests a broadcast mode. PPT doesn’t kill meetings, people with PPT kill meetings.

Clever use of images in a presentation helps make a point more concrete, says Mitch Joel.

Michael suggests studying good presentations:
* the Takahashi method
* the Lessig method

Other suggestions:

* http://www.presentationzen.com on Takahashi and Lessig and other models
* Slideology the book
* Give Your Speech, Change the World by Nic Morgan
