  • Appoint a timekeeper for your next meeting to keep your agenda on schedule.
  • The most readable type for presentation graphics is:
    • 24 point or larger
    • San serif
    • Mixed upper- and lower-case
  • Use the 6 x 6 rule when preparing transparencies and presentation graphics: keep text to no more than six words per line and no more than six lines per screen.
  • The average time a slide should remain on screen is 40 to 90 seconds.
  • The average attention span of an audience is 18 minutes.
  • To optimize presentation graphics for videoconferences, set your computer's display settings to VGA (640 x 480) resolution. This resolution most closely matches the resolution of videoconferencing systems and results in the least distortion of your graphics.
  • Prepare presentation graphics at the resolution of your multimedia projector for the best appearance:
    • VGA - 640 x 480
    • SVGA - 800 x 600
    • XGA - 1024 x 768
    • SXGA - 1,280 x 1,024
  • When using a bridging service to facilitate your videoconference, make sure to get a telephone number for the meeting room at each site in case of technical difficulties.
  • Brainstorming works best in groups of 15 or fewer.
  • Get the most from your brainstorming sessions by clearly defining an idea generation time and a discussion/analysis/decision time. Delaying discussion always results in the generation of more ideas.
