Hi Guys, I recently finished working on a consulting project (a business presentation) for an MNC. I’d like to share some cool tips that I used while making the presentation
Tip 1. Creating Focus with Fades
Often helpful when you want to stage out the information in the slide
In the above slide I wanted to first talk about the services and then draw the attention completely to the infrastructure setup required
Tip 2. Explain Models and Processes with Info Graphic Icons – They really do the trick !
I urge you to get rid of dreaded flowcharts and rigid smart art (which is not smart). Try using infographic icons to explain your message.. for instance I’ll give you a glimps of 3 slides where I used them to explain the business model
Business of a typical print center
- Where organisations give you work
- Your computer operators work on machines
- And these organisations are reached out by your sales force. It is clear .. isn’t it?
A still of a company that develops apps
- Where students can buy question papers online
- And coaching institutes can place there papers on the app for sale
A still of a cab company
- That runs owned cabs
- Has a small call center
- And the drivers earn some daily revenue
Tip 3. Create timelines for business history & future
I find it awesome and incredibly simple to explain via timelines that how the business/project/company has evolved over time. Take a look
Tip 4. Use moving dots to mark places on the map
I used this again for yet another client of mine. Also refer to my old work (slightly different, which explains this technique)
Tip 5. I have said it earlier but will say it again
Be strict in using animations. Use them to enhance your message and making it easier for the viewers to consume information. I am sure you don’t want to fly an animated superman in your business presentation 😀
