Nancy Duarte interviewed at Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco 2011
summary
Business presentations are broken by habit: they default to lecture or research-paper formats instead of story-driven decks, and slides often act as a shield rather than a bridge. The claim is that presentations remain the primary business medium, second only to email, yet visual communication skills are rarely taught. Evidence: comparisons to standout orators like Steve Jobs and Richard Feynman, pressure from live audience feedback on Twitter and the rise of TED, plus decades of practice — including 250,000 presentations built — that inform specific fixes.
