Why do Presentations and Demos?
• establish yourself within the company as being an expert in your
field
• show that you have good communication skills (i.e. to
persuade, to inspire, to motivate) and thus have management
potential - in most surveys of companies, presentation skills
were rated as being as important (if not more so) than technical
skills
• learn a lot about the topic you are presenting, it will help you
understand your topic better, and it may help you to see the topic
from a new perspective (i.e. that of the user rather than the
developer / designer)

1.4 What constitutes a professional presentation?

The key to an effective presentation is that you have a few main
points that you want the audience to remember, and that you
highlight these points during the presentation in an interesting,
and if possible, enthusiastic way.

software?

use or not of bullets, and have a
changing background where
appropriate.

However, Aleph compensates for this lack of
several other distracting statistics)
dynamism by
2. talk about the statistic in three ways (first as a whole number,
then as a percentage, then by comparison with India). Aleph thus
offers his audience different ways of absorbing the information,
• having a clear logical structure
