    RE: “Why Most PowerPoint Presentations Suck”

    Will, have you ever attended one of Edward Tufte’s seminars? He’s a genius with visual presentation of data. He was a member of the board that reviewed the Shuttle Challenger disaster, and he firmly believes that the misuse of PowerPoint presentations in presenting technical information about the o-rings contributed significantly to the decision to launch.

    I agree with your comments about project failure and offer another large contributor - lack of defined scope. My belief is that if scope is not defined up front, then nothing is out of scope, leading to project failure.
    I have a list of tenets for project success and failure on my web site that have been culled from many years as a project director.
    PS - great blog.

    No comment just a query. I am a doctoral student beginning my dissertation “Sarbanes-Oxley ~ Organization Redesign: Human Factor Analysis. My query: Would you be willing to participate in my qualitative research study? The exploration is to hear what the Chief Officers’ have experienced with implementing SOX - be they Public or Private organizations. There is a belief that such ‘bleeding’ , story telling of the good, bad and ugly experiences will bring about the building blocks of a template for those yet to experience implementing SOX in their organization.
    Thank you for your time in reading and considering participating. Should you lean towards participating, I will send you my ‘Participation Request’ Letter - phase #1.

    Thank You Again and looking forward to your response.
