As many of you know - I'm really into improving presentations - aka moving beyond bullet points and slideuments (aka slides as documents).
The Oracle Middleware team just released a new video on YouTube describing the application grid.
What I like about this:
- Shows how you can give effective presentation without needing to show the audience your cue-cards (after all that's really what the bullets are meant for)
- I love how using the whiteboard gives the visual cues without feeling overly slick. If you don't have a whiteboard -just a couple of slides could be used
- Leverages the fact that there is an entire website dedicated to give you much more detail - thus can give concise information.
It very easily could have been a 20 minute "drink from the fire-hose" presentation. Now instead it's more like drinking a fine glass of your favorite beverage.
