Power Point Presentations
Visualization: The Optical Language
ASSOCIATION OF INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT
TRAINERS
Welcome!
How often do we have to listen to POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS
which are overloaded with text information?
How often does the speaker read the text from the screen as if we were
blindfolded?
How often does the speaker fail to convey the actual message to their
audience because of the above mentioned habits?
The state of the art should be to visualize the content of a presentation
as far as possible by avoiding an overflow of animation effects.
The following example is derived from a real practice case.
Question: What is wrong about the following presentation? Find your
answer first before comparing it with our proposals on foil 6.
Regional Overview / Assumption
• Fab Utilization: 80 %
• Degree of Efficiency: > 95% (incl. ABC 2 at 90%)
– IFX: > 93% - MP fabs AB 200/300 and CANED at > 95%; PL fabs
between 88% and 98%
– PH: > 95% - mainly due to MEES34, SAST and XYT
– Reg: > 90% - major fabs fully utilized
• Additional Requests for Labor Coverage beyond Planned
Contracts / Paid Service
– Contractual coverage for PE
– Competition with 3rd party labor increasing at almost all customer sites
– Prioritization of resources to serve business with strong future outlook
 Build up strong partnership with 3rd party to offer customer a flexible
service (price/timing)
• Strong Demand for Upgrades
– High potential for sales due to growing fab load and ongoing tool
conversions
– Communication and pro-activity of Team increased awareness
 Solutions of Upgrades are attractive, labor share to be further
integrated
What‘s wrong..? Make up your mind first, then animate!
Far too much text
Far too many abbreviations
Letter size too small
No Corporate Identity,
Missing attractive foil lay-out

Now it‘s your turn! How would you basically visualize the most important
information? ( Fragments of the text are sufficient.)

A Presentation is not a
'Hand-out' which may
