Here is a new approach for all business/academic presentations – 20 slides, 20 seconds each that auto-advance. You have 6 minutes and 40 seconds – go! I wonder if this would accomplish the intention of getting people to focus on sending a clear message with no filler/no distractions. Or would it just dumb-down further the already dumbed-down, low information quality of most Powerpoint-driven presentations. I gotta find some place to try this out soon…
Let us now bullet-point our praise for Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein, two Tokyo-based architects who have turned PowerPoint, that fixture of cubicle life, into both art form and competitive sport. Their innovation, dubbed pecha-kucha (Japanese for "chatter"), applies a simple set of rules to presentations: exactly 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each.
