Introduction
|
Cliff
introduces today's
workshop featuring Eduardo & Alberto, guests from Spain working
for
a telecomm company (as software architects) whouse elements
from BBP to teach & give training on creating better
presentations
|
| 00:04:30 |

|
Alberto & Eduardo decided that once they
started to learn new methods, they should try to teach and hold seminars
|
| 00:05:45 |
-
|
They started reading new books in March of 2009,
created a wiki to
put information together, and by October 2009 they held their first
seminar - 10-20% of their company was present at their first seminar,
there was a lot of interest in this topic
|
| 00:08:00 |
- |
Credibility within their organization - Alberto
& Eduardo
holding seminars for their own company, taking the time to learn
&
research new models for creating presentations |
| 00:09:00 |
- |
They had no background in design - they spent a lot of
time doing research and working outside of work to generate their
graphics
|
| 00:11:30 |

You can join their group on SlideShare.net to view
their educational presentations:
http://www.slideshare.net/group/prezentations - Cliff takes a look at
their first english Seminar (1) - Why should you learn a better way?
|
| 00:13:20 |
- |
They started by showing people very common errors using
examples - they will get specific examples from the people/group they
are training (overloaded slides)

PowerPoint is not the enemy, it's the way we use it.
Cliff, Alberto & Eduardo talk about the recent New
York Times
article about PowerPoint & the military:

| 00:19:30 |
- |
Once people see a presentation with better/simple
graphics, they
think that creating this type of presentation on their own should be
easy, but it is actually the story that needs to be focused on - people
need to be convinced that this is a learning process and creating
better presentations does not happen overnight
|
| 00:24:30 |
- |
Bringing about change in small steps is probably the
best process, giving people quick fixes first and then in-depth
training second
|
| 00:27:15 |
- |
The reward is high when you deliver a great
presentation, so it is
worth it to put in the extra time to really flesh out the idea, story
& graphics

Most of the people who follow Eduardo &
Alberto's work do it through Slideshare:

|
It's easy to tell people that they need to tell a
story, use better graphics, but people also need a step-by step
approach in order to do this
|
| 00:40:00 |
- |
What has worked in their training so far vs. what might
need improvement for future seminars & training sessions?
|
| 00:47:00 |
- |
Cliff pulls up an example one-day workshop (turning
data into stories), and reviews a sample training agenda for
a one-day workshop learning experience |
| 00:55:33 |
- |
Up until now Alberto & Eduardo work mostly
lecture based, but do plan to introduce tools and interactive training
in their workshops. Cliff discusses some of the brianstorming tools he
has created for people. |
| 00:58:55 |
- |
Cliff points out that the reality of brainstorming and
creating a presentation is that your ideas and story details will
change as you work through the process, it's an iterative process
|

Wrap Up |
Cliff thanks Alberto & Eduardo for sharing
their experiences and materials, posting their presentations publicly -
he suggests keeping in touch and continuing a dialogue moving forward!
