In previous post, I have spoken highly of a new style of presentation.... it follows the ideas of Scott Gavin and are shown in his Meet Henry slide show. Meet Henry has spawned a whole series of Meet .... type presentations.
I've been considering why this style of presentation is so powerful and what makes it innovative and interesting. Well, it seems to me to be an effective, simple "message delivery" method. In a world of large presentations with too many messages, lots of data, excess bullets, etc. I like the KISS aspect of the approach --- Focus on a single message, deliver it effectively and let it be.
I've also been considering why Twitter is also effective, and see that Twitter is built around a similar idea -- simple message delivery. Then, it struck me that the Meet Henry approach is a lot like Twitter, but applied to slide shows.... in a sense, if Twitter is "micro-blogging", then Meet Henry is "micro presenting".. short message or statement.
Applied within a corporate communication setting, heavily dominated by long and winded PPT presentations, the idea can evolve into "micro-messaging".
I will be thinking about how linking multiple, powerful micro-messages can be effectively used within companies to improve communications, increase awareness, and keep people focused on key corporate goals. Your ideas are welcome.
