Steelcase: 100 Years – A Prezi for Future Generations

Friday, November 16th, 2012 - Filed under Infographics, Lights in the People Tunnel, PowerPoints, Visual Thinking

Steelcase is one of our repeat clients, and one we have a lot of respect for. The company started out 100 years ago specializing in file cabinets and safes, and has since gone through so many evolutions that parts of it are unrecognizable from its humble beginnings. Where Steelcase and Sunni Brown overlap involves innovation, [...]

Many of you know that Dave Gray and I are hosting a Gamestorming workshop at Duarte Design in July of this year. But did you also know you can get a sneak peek into the content? I spent about about 45 hours designing the curriculum and about 15 hours designing the slides to accompany it. [...]

UX London 2011 – Gamestorming Workshops and High Tea

Monday, April 18th, 2011 - Filed under Gamestorming: A Playbook, Graphic Facilitation, Graphic Recording, PowerPoints, Visual Thinking

Because, oddly, I had never been to London, Andy Budd of Clearleft took pity on me and invited me to host a workshop at UX London 2011. (He swears it’s due to my content but I think he thought I needed a spot of tea.) So I must applaud his prescience – the Gamestorming workshop [...]

5 Best Practices for Presentations

Friday, November 19th, 2010 - Filed under Gamestorming: A Playbook, Graphic Facilitation, PowerPoints, Visual Thinking

I had a surprise client turn into a favorite client recently, namely ViaTech Global Publishing. Kurt Heusner, the CMO, tracked me down like many of my clients – through the semantic web – and together we planned a really successful session for 75 of their top team members. I met with Kurt before Gamestorming was published [...]

Innovation’s Secret Sauce: A presentation inspired by Steven Johnson.

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010 - Filed under Gamestorming: A Playbook, Graphic Facilitation, PowerPoints

Steven Johnson’s latest book Where Good Ideas Come From landed in my lap at exactly the right time. I was designing a 2-day innovation session for Razorfish, along with the magnificent Bumper Carroll, and Johnson’s thoughts on innovation hit me like a bolt out of the blue (although, if you read the book, you’ll learn that [...]

Ignite/Get Your Foo On: The Doodle Revolution at O’Reilly Foo Camp

Friday, August 13th, 2010 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, PowerPoints, Spokesperson Sunni, The Doodle Revolution, Visual Thinking

For those of you who are aware of the Ignite presentation format, I probably don’t have to tell you how nerve-wracking it is. 5 minutes, 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide and you have zero control of the slide transitions. Hello. My worst nightmare as a presenter. To top off the format challenge, this particular [...]

Foo Camp 2010 – The Doodle Revolution, Ignite-Style

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, Lights in the People Tunnel, PowerPoints, Visual Thinking

I was planning to write up a description of Foo Camp 2010 myself, but I decided to be more time-savvy and just use the content from Wikipedia, below. Suffice it to say that it was an honor to be invited and a pleasure to present The Doodle Revolution to such a stellar audience. Some highlights [...]

TEDx UT: The Doodle Revolution

TEDx UT: The Doodle Revolution

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010 - Filed under Appearances & Interviews, PowerPoints, Visual Notetaking, Visual Thinking

On my way to Wimberley a couple of months ago, I got a call from Derek Woodgate. He was on the planning team for TEDx UT and I assumed he was going to ask me for speaker recommendations, since our team had just produced TEDx Austin and we had a long list of incredible possible [...]

National Disaster Drama – Presentation with H2O Partners

National Disaster Drama – Presentation with H2O Partners

Sunday, September 27th, 2009 - Filed under PowerPoints

The presentation above was created in conjunction with H2O Partners, an agency founded by Jo Ann Howard, FEMA’s former Federal Insurance Administrator.  H2O Partners specializes in the planning and management of national disasters and has a challenging message to communicate in a highly politicized field. So a simple but memorable presentation was important for two [...]
