Reduce The Number Of Slides With Concept Diagrams

Reduce The Number Of Slides With Concept Diagrams

Is it possible to reduce the number of slides by representing the ideas visually? The answer is a resounding ‘Yes’. Here is the proof.

While I was browsing through the net yesterday, I came across a presentation on ‘The right way to conduct meetings’. Here are a couple of slides from that ‘typical’ presentation:

      

Let us make this over with our ‘concept diagram principles’ step by step.

Step1 : Reduce the ‘blah’:

If you read through the content carefully, you will see that there are 4 main points covered:

1.  Rationalize the agenda based on criticality of the issues
2.  Rationalize the number of participants based on their ability to take action post  the meeting
3.  Give participants sufficient time to prepare for the meeting
4.  Conclude by assigning clear responsibilities to members

Step 2: Divide the points into objects and relationships

Objects are in blue and the relationships in red…

1. Rationalize the agenda based on criticality of the issues
2. Rationalize the number of participants based on their ability to take action post the meeting
3. Give participants sufficient time to prepare for the meeting
4. Conclude by assigning clear responsibilities to members. 

Step 3: Represent the relationship visually

Here is the result of doing this…

Thus, with a concept diagram we not only reduced the number of slides, but also made sure that the slide is clearer and visually appealing.
