Less is more
I hosted a micro-presentation session at the Microsoft AIC. If you’re not familiar with this format of presentation, they’re very simple. 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide, the slides to be configured to change automatically.
In addition be being good fun, I’m convinced it’s a great format to convey a wealth of information in a short period of time.
I believe the benefits are manifold. The format encourages the presenter to distil the content and be really clear on the key messaging. The audience doesn’t have to sit through a long and tiring presentation. Even if they’re not interested in the subject they only have 6 minutes and 40 seconds before it’s finished; and they're likely to take something away.
I’m convinced that this format should be used more in business...
