About

Disclosure

Disclosure
Nobody pays me to write any of the copy on my blog, and should I ever have the good fortune that they do, I will declare it. My main employment is as the owner and principal of The Future Place consultancy. The Future Place provides two key services 1) training and services to industry and academic bodies and 2) consultancy services to companies. The details of the companies I work with are a private matter, but if I blog about any company who has paid The Future Place more than expenses recently (approx. two years) I will mention that they are a client. I hold equity in Virtual Surveys and provide consulting services to them from time to time. I am paid to run courses for a number of trade bodies and over the last few years clients have included ESOMAR, AMSRS, MRS, and MRIA.

Ignite - Pecha Kucha on speed

PresentationZen has an interesting post about Ignite. Standard PK (Pecha Kucha) is 20 slides, each lasting 20 seconds, i.e. 6 minutes 40 seconds.

Ignite is 20 slides, each slide lasting 15 seconds, i.e. 5 minutes in total. Surprisingly, the dynamics of 15 seconds are quite different from 20 seconds, the whole flow needs to be more continuous. With 20 seconds each slide can still have a separate meaning, this is less true with 15 seconds.

However, as Garr Reynolds says in his post, things like PK and Ignite are great fun and a great ways to develop your skills, but they are not the way you should ever deliver a client presentation.
