The 7 Potentially Problematic P-factors with PowerPoint

1. PowerPoint Paralysis. The state of deep trance induced by a mind-numbingly unimaginative, script-laden and over-full slide-deck.
2. PowerPoint Pareto Number. The number of slides to which the typical corporate slide-deck should be reduced for normal human consumption. Research suggests 20% of the original.
3. PowerPoint Paradigm. The bizarre fact that the greater the ‘whizziness’ of the presentation model the more the point of the presentation is lost.
4. PowerPoint Pointer. The simple laser device used in hi-tech presentations to replace the old music hall sing-along bouncing ball as everybody reads the script together.
5. PowerPoint Punchline. "...and as with everybody else this morning, I have way too many slides. I am sorry about the fact that many of the colours are a poor choice for this bright sun-light...oh, there we go...not sure why the embedded video is not working..haha..."
6. PowerPoint Panchakarma. The ancient Indian system of Ayurveda detox which is essential if the average PowerPoint user is ever going to be able to learn how to communicate again in the real world.
7. PowerPoint Primate. The monkey who would keep it simple, keep it engaging and undoubtedly get the message across in less time. Because thankfully they haven’t learnt PowerPoint yet. But they know how to have a good time.
