Now here's a question for anyone with some presentation experience. When was the last time that your business presentation, government PowerPoint slide deck or third sector presentation changed the world? Because when you want to make an impact with your presentation, this is a question you might ask.
Aim to make an Impact with Your Presentations
We asked this question because this week the Daily Telegraph report that they have seen a presentation produced by World Rugby's Head of Match Officials Joël Jutge, with their Director of Rugby, Phil Davies.
And apparently the presentation reveals a focus on speed, safety and space on the playing pitch. Additionally it also clarifies the introduction of 20 minute red cards. That's something which many in Rugby Union were pondering. Also within the presentation by the two men is the defence of box kicks and the roles of retreating defenders who are occasionally known as escort runners. And it certainly looks like it will change the feel of Rugby Union, that's governed by World Rugby..
Impact Presentation Performs for World Rugby
It's all to do with a definition of obstruction and the referees are going to be looking out for it. It's world-changing. Forget impact players coming on at the 56-minute mark, this is an impact presentation.
Now that the presentation has gone live within World Rugby, referees and match officials and no doubt coaches are going to gather at the training camps to determine whether these new rules can be implemented. The indication is that they will be.
So back to the question, when has your presentation ever made such an impact? Because it could. Perhaps your presentation on operational effectiveness would have operating ramifications for all your business premises. In the UK, Europe and the world. It's worth a thought, and why not? Certainly the media team behind the BASF presentation set out to show how the business feeds the world. And they achieved that objective.
Presentations Need to Have an Impact
Certainly this presentation appears to have done just that. Now we have seen other presentations prepared by World Rugby in the past and they are undeniably dull. However it's not just the visuals that count with your own presentation. Because it's also the spirit and the clarity of detail that goes into a presentation and for this the two men should be applauded.
It appears that this presentation of theirs will have a great impact. It's certainly not about to be kicked into touch.
