The July issue of Armed Forces Journal has an article about everybody's favorite topic, PowerPoint. You have to love the title and then reflect on the pot-shots taken. The author is a recently retired Marine with 30 years experience and is pursuing a doctorate in history at Oxford. His key point focuses on decision-making and its implications when briefings are done via PPT.

I found the most telling comment was.... "Further, it is an accepted reality that PowerPoint presentations - particularly important ones - inevitably are disseminated to a much wider audience than those attending the brief. We have created huge staffs and they are all hungry for information. This means most of the people who actually see the brief get an incomplete picture of the ideas presented. Some briefers attempt to overcome this by writing whole paragraphs in the briefing notes portion of the slide."

Imagine if the Marines had Brainshark! In their voice, the briefer could provide a context for the visuals which would result in greater consistency of message within the chain of command. Think about using Brainshark to move your organizations decision-making process along.
