Any meeting involving PowerPoint can be an email instead. Just email the deck to people. If they have questions, they can either email you or request a meeting. But don’t interrupt people if all you’re going to do is make them follow along while you read through a presentation.

    If your PowerPoint can be simply emailed and explain all you would have in a meeting, you’ve made a bad PowerPoint presentation.

    Tho, in general, the need for PowerPoint has drastically waned in this more digital world.

      That’s one of things whose existence people expect me to accept despite never having seen them for myself:

      • God
      • unconditional love
      • compassionate conservatism
      • relevant ads
      • media tie-ins that aren’t crap
      • adaptations superior to their source material
      • a good PowerPoint presentation

        Yeah, these days I rarely make em. Only do it for either 1) high level introductions, (which is just some prestige bullshit) 2) visually demonstrating work flows as a visual aid for the SOP document

        Adopting new workflows is a good time to have a meeting in person (or online) so people can ask questions in realtime.
