There is only so much detail that can offered and absorbed in an oral presentation. Live presentations are a powerful way to convey the big picture or even an emotional appeal but they are just not an efficient medium for transferring a large quantity of detailed content. Therefore it becomes critical that we as presenters take our complex, detail-rich content and translate it into digestible nuggets of information that our audience can more easily understand.
We have to take the complex and simplify it.
The challenge is to insure that this new level of detail is still accurate, valuable, comprehensible and not overly “dumbed-down.”
