Why Your Presentations Suck!

Why Your Presentations Suck!

By Adron Hall on June 11, 2012

Ok, so everybody’s presentations don’t suck. But the vast majority of them do. I know I’m not the first person to make this statement. I’d include a list of others who have said it but it would take more space than my entire blog does. Take this example slide deck from a presentation I saw […]

Sliderocket Positions Itself For The Mobile World

By Krishnan Subramanian on November 16, 2010

Sliderocket (see previous CloudAve coverage), the company that made presentations interesting, announced today the release of HTML 5 media player to help users with iOS devices, especially iPad, deliver their presentations on these devices. With iPad selling in huge numbers, this is a clever move by Sliderocket and I am pretty sure iPad users are […]

The Art of the Enterprise: Seize the Enterprise 2.0 opportunity in your company

The Art of the Enterprise: Seize the Enterprise 2.0 opportunity in your company

By Mark Fidelman on March 2, 2010

My first experience as a manager was leading a team in striving to win a large contract from UPS. We worked around the clock in preparing a knock your socks off proposal complete with diagrams, graphs, and complicated ROI analysis that showed a 25 to 1 return.  I insisted we use some new proposal process […]

Successful presentations? – go back to basics

Successful presentations? – go back to basics

By David Terrar on January 29, 2010

Some of us of a certain age come from a time when presentations weren’t created directly on the PC (or Mac) with PowerPoint (or Keynote), or with cool new online tools like Prezi.  Back then before laptop PCs and low cost flash drives, if there was plenty of money in the marketing budget, and the […]

Conversations: SAP Influencer Summit vs. Le Web

Conversations: SAP Influencer Summit vs. Le Web

By Guest Authors on December 14, 2009

I’ve spent the last few days attending – virtually – the SAP Influencer Summit and the Le Web conference in Paris. The two events were very different, but I think there’s some interesting comparisons that can be drawn that point to the future direction of conferences. SAP Influencer Summit Let’s start with the SAP Influencer […]

Prezi Dazzles: Live Recording of a Social Media Class

Prezi Dazzles: Live Recording of a Social Media Class

By Zoli Erdos on November 9, 2009

I’ve said before: if you wanto to dazzle with your presentation, use Prezi.  The Prezi team did to presentations what Google did to email: throw away all pre-existing notions, re-think why and how we use email (presentations) and build something from scratch.  That’s how you get results that truly dazzle.  Of course that brings up […]

2008 REDUX Another piece in the 2008 Redux series – unfortunately just as relevant as it was almost a year ago: Ok, I admit: it’s a bombastic title. Even worse, it’s stolen. I stole it from Entrepreneur – Startup CEO – Investor – Blogger Dharmesh Shah, who just explained why he hates Powerpoint, and we […]

Oh, That Bloated Presentation - The Web is Greener

Oh, That Bloated Presentation – The Web is Greener

By Zoli Erdos on September 16, 2008

We can argue all we want about  the benefits of SaaS, discuss hypothetical use cases at length, but the best showcases are served up by real life, often unexpectedly. A startup CEO friend asked me to take a look at his Powerpoint deck before he would send it to a VC.  (Incidentally, I don’t believe […]
