Marketing and presentation expert and author of Advanced Presentations by Design Dr. Andrew Abela developed a very interesting approach to design and deliver presentations. He calls it the Extreme Presentation method, and it’s a way to develop effective communication of complex information to a well targeted audience.
He differentiates two major types of presentations: “If you’re trying to present a big idea, to wow people, or to entertain them, then you should deliver a Ballroom style presentation: projecting great visuals, with few words. But if you’re trying to persuade people to do something: buy, approve, invest, change behavior, etc., then you need to deliver a Conference Room style presentation: lots of details on printed slides which pass the squint test”
We are very proud to learn that Dr. Abela believes that Prezi is one technology that can actually bridge the gap between the two different kinds of presentations. In his recent blogpost he uses demo prezis to give examples of how to create great presentations of each kind then concludes: “(Prezi)…is one of the best communication technologies to come along in a very long time”
