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.

    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.
