One picture is worth a thousand words as the saying goes visual elements convey much more information
than plain text in much shorter time.
The best presentations use visual elements.
It's always better to show numbers in a table or chart compared to showing them as plain text.
So when working on a presentation you should try to include as many visual elements as possible.
You can do that in many ways.
For example you can use tables to show summary financial information from the income statement of the
firm.
You can use pie charts to show who owns what portion of the company or to show the revenue breakdown
of a company or what percentage of revenues comes from each product line or geography.
Bar charts can be helpful.
A bar chart allows you to show the evolution of a key performance indicator or KPI over time waterfall
charts show the evolution of a KPI over time.
Breaking it down to its components and showing how each component contributed to its overall change
pictures can be handy too.
We can use them to show some of the firm's facilities management products and brand logos.
And finally it's nice when we can insert a map in one of our slides and show the locations where the
company operates or the places where its production facilities are located.
Visual elements are great.
Remember that.
