Kill me now

Just came back from a meeting with one of my clients.

Client: Regarding the lessons learnt I asked you to provide for the last project.

Me: Yes, I sent it to you, with all the information you requested.

Client: I have to send it to the business owners, it's just text. Could you put it in PowerPoint and make it a bit more colourful and maybe a few charts and graphics.

Its lessons learnt FFS, not the latest edition of the Beano.

Traffic light BMPs are you friends.

Ooh. Make sure you include some pictures of a little stick man at the computer. Perhaps all round the edge of the powerpoint slide, as a border.

Stick a massive pie chart in the bottom centre, and put some wording underneath in very small itallic: it should be noted that the data reflected above is meaningless

And don't forget to use WordArt to add professional impact to your presentation!!!

I think some companies have been Bobed so much, that they think the PowerPoint slides with no real information is the correct way to do things.

And its powerpoint so you could animate every character of text on the slide starting from a different edge.

Animate.css | Just-add-water CSS Animations has some "great" examples

No you are educating a bunch of people that spent most of the year calling the wrong shots. If they had the attention span to read your plain txt they would not need you to tell them what they did wrong ...

There is a well paid art to telling senior managers simple things in a way that does not make them feel dumb.

no content = nothing to worry about = perfect meeting.

Out of sight, out of mind
