One of the big problems with PowerPoint presentations that are
Speaker:
00:00:07
made from templates is how they are indifferent to their content.
Speaker:
00:00:13
The bigger the company, the bigger the problem.
It shows like this:
00:00:17
neither the presenter nor their slides provide any
It shows like this:
00:00:23
hint as to whether the presentation is about a trivial matter or
It shows like this:
00:00:29
something really, really important.
It shows like this:
00:00:32
Whether it's just pure information or a reason to celebrate
It shows like this:
00:00:38
or be afraid of something.
It shows like this:
00:00:41
Everything just always looks the same in the same boring corporate slide layout.
It shows like this:
00:00:48
Everything just always follows the same proven agenda and
It shows like this:
00:00:52
everything is just always presented in the same monotonous style.
The worst part:

this is apparently just the way it is.
The worst part:
00:01:04
And given the committee decision-making process that's the default in many

larger corporations, there seems to be nothing you can do about it.
The worst part:
00:01:14
When everything has to be approved by a number of departments and
The worst part:
00:01:18
hierarchical levels, every divergence is quickly ironed out again.
The worst part:
00:01:24
I mean, what if someone from upper management doesn't like it, right?
The worst part:
00:01:29
It seems to be just the way it is.
The worst part:
00:01:32
Or is it?
The worst part:
00:01:33
Because I think you could just be a bit more courageous.
The worst part:
00:01:38
Be brave and just break out of that pattern.
The worst part:
00:01:42
If it's just plain information, then, sure, deliver it as
The worst part:
00:01:46
just plain information.
The worst part:
00:01:47
But if it's something exciting, whether a reason to be afraid or a reason
The worst part:
00:01:52
to celebrate, if it's something exciting, then make it exciting.
The worst part:
00:01:57
Break out of the patterns, use a different visual, use a different style of
