For the past decade, PowerPoint has played a key role in many presentations. Yet this tool has been overused, misused and abused – particularly in a small group setting. Slide Deck is a new presentation tool that increases listener’s involvement and buy-in and improves the exchange of knowledge. It uses the PowerPoint application for design, but the visuals are presented without any electronic equipment.
