One of the leaders at IDEO (and part-time prof. at the business school) spoke to my grad. class. He gave one of the slickest powerpoint presentations I've ever seen.
Good article, but I don't think it says much that should surprise us. Large corporate firms will inevitably end up talking corporate-speak, and sell a service whose actual value is lower than its luster. Moreover, in every field, there will be some practitioners who hold a myopic view when it comes to problem-solving.
There seems to be an aura about/around design stuff/work that blinds people to the very real fact that it is still just a business.
- uxcolumbo 7y agoSlickest presentation? In what way? Is it online somewhere?
- anongraddebt 7y agoNot that I know of. It was slick because of how high quality the designs, and colors, etc for each slide were. Most importantly, though, it was the best 'story-telling' I've seen in a presentation.
- rchaud 7y agoDesign and presentation is IDEO's bread and butter, so it makes sense that make sure to get those things right when speaking to outside audiences.
- anongraddebt 7y agoSlick wasn't meant as a pejorative.
