Introducing
Beyond Bullet Points

BBP is a method of communicating that helps you effectively persuade, inform and educate your audiences. It's much more than about pretty PowerPoint slides - it's about finding the clear and compelling structure that cuts through the clutter and guides people to memorable understanding. The BBP process is described in detail in the Beyond Bullet Points book (Microsoft Press, 2007), and is put into practice daily in organizations, workshops and on the community website BBP Online.

Using research-based principles that have been shown to improve learning, BBP guides you through a reliable and repeatable process that works across a range of topics, purposes, professions and contexts. BBP begins with applying a story structure that provides a framework for the information you want to communicate, and then the approach uses a classic logic structure to distill your facts to their essence.  Next you use presentation software to illustrate your story and sync your narration, and finally you bring the experience to life with your projected images and confident voice.
