Comments on: Stanford Passed (and Failed) the Glance Test. Would you? http://blog.duarte.com/2009/10/stanford-passed-and-failed-the-glance-test-would-you/ Duarte Blog Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:32:22 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Conor Neill http://blog.duarte.com/2009/10/stanford-passed-and-failed-the-glance-test-would-you/comment-page-1/#comment-2168 Conor Neill Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:30:19 +0000 http://blog.duarte.com/?p=4350#comment-2168 I spent the first 9 years of my professional life working for one of the big consulting firms (Andersen Consulting, then Accenture). I have spent the rest of my working life trying to stop speakers projecting word documents onto screens. I like this test as a practical tool to help presenters focus on the reason they have the slides with them. Thanks.

Nancy, since I am currently doing some heavy evangelization for better presentations at my university (colleagues and students), may I translate these tests into German and present them on my private blog (http://grindblog.de)?

(They are pleased with my help so far based around your webinars and book). I can share this checklist with them as part of educating them to do better. We have reaised that within meetings that we are facilitating (OUR MAIN WORK) it is worth helping on this aspect, een though it's not our official job, as it helps to better achieve outcomes and increase engagement, something we strive to do!

They turn sensible advice (don't let your slides fight you for attention) into manacles. Sometimes it's okay to have a complex slide, just as sometimes it's okay to have a chart that takes a bit of explaining. A useful checklist, but I don’t trust rules.

Both a clear explanation of the theory and great application. I especially appreciate the means to offer an objective analysis of a presentation. Thanks! This is a fantastic post.
