In June 2006, PowerfulPoints contracted Interactive Opinions to undertake research into audience opinions of slideware presentations and the difference they can make to businesses. We had undertaken extensive investigations prior to this but were unable to come up with any significant research about the problems with poor presentations and the difference high-impact presentations can make.
Extensive investigations prior to this showed that, until now, there had not been any significant research into the problems of poor presentations and the difference that high-impact presentations can make. Research concluded that people want to do business with organisations that create outstanding presentations and that excellent presentation skills are essential for career success.
The research results can be grouped into several areas:
General presentation standards
How your presentations can make or break your business
How your presentations will make or break your career
What most presenters do wrong
