Well I’m just about all wrapped up on my PowerPoint deck. It’s taken longer than expected partly because PowerPoint is just the worst software in the world when it comes to precise layout (obvs) and secondly because I’ve had to grapple with some fairly fundamental questions about the positioning of Creative Technology in the industry and my role in relation to it. It’s currently running to 96 slides(!) which would undoubtedly be Death-by-PowerPoint if presented linearly. However I’ve taken a modular approach to the content, the idea being that no two interviews will be the same and areas of interest to different companies will vary so it would be better to jump between them as the flow of conversation dictates. I’m quite prepared that some interviews might focus around only one or other section but the other content is there if needed.

I’ve been lining up conversations with some former colleagues who have gone on to great things so this afternoon I’m off to meet up with Andrew Day of Douglass/Day for a bit of a catch-up. I’m not sure everyone will take kindly to being served up a PowerPoint presentation but I’m hoping to get a bit of feedback on some key sections.
