description

These slides are from a webinar in which you will learn how to create a business strategy presentation from concept through messaging and slide and chart creation. This will not be a webinar that teaches you how to use Mekko Graphics software, but instead will focus on building a presentation that will get your message across to your senior management team, your peers, or your key customers and prospects. We will cover how to select charts and diagrams based on your data and communication goals and how to organize them for an optimal presentation. You can find the corresponding video from this deck in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_wdHqvbbMs
