My Power Point Story…
Anshul Punetha
B School – 2005 – 2007 : Self assessment of Power point skills
Reality : I was making slide documents !!
Except I did not know this is what they were called !
Corporate presentations however, turned out to be different…
Data Heavy, Excel Table content came to the fore…
Turned out I had many miles to go…
So I shifted styles… from slocuments to slexcels !
Little Realising That There Could Be Method To the Madness….
Till I changed jobs..and suddenly found myself in an unfamiliar place..
Pushed back for my slexcels & slocuments, I realised I had to do something…
Help Was Sought from all quarters..
most importantly, Colleagues…
And I realized that there are …
Presentation Types
That seek to That seek a
Both conform to a few ground rules
• Consistency – – Font Size (Header and body text to have different sizes) – Header and text alignment (use the grid) – Few words (light is faster than sound – ppl read faster than the presenter can speak)
• Image usage – – Impactful – Relevant – << words
• Story telling –
– Set the context – Create a crisis – Show a solution – Deploy it – Demonstrate results – Seek money for scaling up
Different steps relevant to both presentation types

A Sample Pre Presentation Checklist (1/2)
• Understand – what kind of presentation is to be made – what outcome is desired – who are the audience – How much time is available ? – Possible questions from audience – Et cetera
• Plot a story (write it down in longhand if needed) and phrase
answers to possible interjections
• Think of the images required (search takes time and effort)
• Budget time for search, data availability, data analysis and iterations
• Segment presentation into sections – Keep a slide as a breaker between sections
• Consistent font sizes and alignment – Use the grid
• Work smart - copy pasting same elements like headlines retains position on different slides
– Ideally use max 2 fonts
• Real estate usage – Employ 4 boxes / 2 boxes to showcase information
– Reduce text
– Impactful images work better
• Slide ROE : Re use a slide as much as possible !!!
