@phenomlab “Death by Powerpoint” just hit me over the head with a cast iron pan LOL
-
@Madchatthew I’m guessing you’ve been exposed to this multiple times in both your technical and medical careers…
-
@phenomlab Yes and now that I am not on the floor as a nurse and in meetings with directors and managers and VPs and Presidents and people with that title and that title that don’t really mean anything to me, I see them even more now. It is crazy how some people think a super long power point presentation is going to make me want to do something, or understand something that has so many buzzwords in them. About halfway through slide one I am alseep. LOLOL
On the technical side, I used to see this a lot when I worked for corporations. Same thing would happen. It seems like those that are doing these presentations just never get it. They don’t understand that no one wants to sit through all of that. Just tell me the issue, tell me what you would like done then go work on the solution. Easy. Simple.
-
@Madchatthew Yes, I tend to work the same way. As soon as a potential vendor wheels out their slide deck, I often ask if we need to go through every page. I’ve yet to see any deck that is engaging enough to capture my attention for more than a few minutes.
-
@phenomlab I have almost many times now spoken out loudly instead of just in my head if we could just get to the point and what is it exactly you want us to know. Fortunately, I have been able to keep the screaming agony in my head. Which by the way is not easy.
-
Haha, I was playing with this today and here are some of the ones that came up. Thought those were funny.
conveniently reconceptualize go forward growth strategies
continually initiate empowered leadership skills
synergistically promote client-based initiatives
interactively simplify unique vortals -
@Madchatthew yes, a lot of amusement can be generated from that. I made that in response to the death by PowerPoint decks I’ve been force fed over the years and the overuse of buzzwords that inevitably goes with them.
-
@phenomlab Yeah I hear that. It is like there is a special committee in every corporation that just sits around trying to think of new ways to say things creating these buzzwords

Yes, absolutely. Either those buzzwords get cheesier or I’m just getting older and less tolerant.
