The Visual Meeting
Tools For Radical Engagement
A talk by Guillaume Wiatr, Principal & Founder of MetaHelm
Introduction
Someone schedules a meeting, and you're in charge. So what's the first thing you do? Open up a PowerPoint template? That might be the correct answer, but what if, rather than showing the audience a static product, you took them through an involving process? What if you built the visuals as you went along with markers, paper, whiteboards, and your own humble drawing skills? We've done it and seen it, and the result is a more engaged audience that contributes better ideas and remembers what you've shown them. If you can put a stick figure down on paper, you can run a better meeting, and we'll gladly show you how.
Description
Let's start by saying it again: You don't have to be the least bit capable of drawing to start running more involving, more visually stimulating meetings. Guillaume will prove that throughout this talk as he takes you through a mix of examples and case studies while loosening PowerPoint's death grip on your way of running meetings.
