I'm so tired or hearing company executives talk about "Death by PowerPoint" as CEO Stephen Pratt says in this article. It's not death by PowerPoint, it is Death by BAD PowerPoint. It would be a lot faster and more effective to use the tools in PowerPoint to produce the "perfect pitch", than making child like sketches on a napkin. It is called effect design. Yes, it is easy to make ugly, complicated, distracting PowerPoint slides, but as this article points out, "Graphic expression and visual thinking are a central part of human cognition," says Neil Cohn.

An interesting article if you can see the visuals. It is kind of silly to have an article about the importance of visuals (hand drawn visuals on napkins in this case), but not show the visuals here online.
