 Increasing audience retention of our content

b. When they don’t


Slides will detract from presentation if:
 Used primarily to avoid audience interaction
 They contain overwhelming amounts of detail
 Slide content and/or sequencing containts too many points or no point at all

Advantages and Disadvantages


It helps to acknowledge in advance that a conference call, or even a videoconferencing the
limitations and building on the strengths can help those involved use the tools most effectively.

What are the disadvantages?


Conference calls:
 Participiant’s attention wanders because there is no visual element.
 The voice is the only “involvement” technique-there’s no opportunity for non-verbal
communication.
 “Speaker phone” Syndrome.
 Poor Phone etiquette.

Videoconferences :
 Equipment is not used to the best advantage.
 Unrealistic expectations of clear communications.

What are the advantages?


 Cost savings : many, many thousands of dollars in travel costs can be saved.
 Time savings : a conference call is often taken right at our work station.
 Teamwork : while budgets and time may allow for only one or two people to
travel to another site, in a conference call or videoconference, more people can be
involved.

2. Develop a plan.
3. Send information out in advance.
4. Make assignments in advance.
5. Be aware of the limitations.
6. Develop some ground rules in advance.

3. Use your voice!
4. Take the temperature of the group periodically.
