Cliff Atkinson / Beyond Bullet Points

Cliff Atkinson is my new hero. For those that don't know, Cliff put together an MS Press book called Beyond Bullet Points. In the book, he describes a new way of compiling and putting together presentations using PowerPoint (without bullet points!). I used this style in a recent keynote I did at the US NAF (National Architect Forum) last month and it seemed to be very well received. Half way through the presentation I was amazed at how many people were engaged with the message I was saying - actually 100% focused towards me and not doing Email!

Cliff also has a blog - you can check it out here.

  Simon,
  
  I hate to burst your bubble, but we weren't doing email because there was no connectivity!
  
  In all seriousness, though, I thought your keynote quite interesting and effective. The idea of having the users represented as the keynote of an architectural forum was absolutely refreshing and eye-opening.

  Hilarious!  If there had been connectivity it would have been a different story... :-)
  
  Glad you enjoyed the presentation - I'm hoping to refine the message over the next couple of months...
