À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURAprès avoir décroché un Master en Communication visuelle et en Fashion Design dans son pays natal qu'est le Brésil, Giselle Hardt a continué son apprentissage théorique en Belgique, étoffé au fil des ans par l'observation pratique. Aujourd'hui, Giselle Hardt anime de nombreuses conférences ainsi que des ateliers afin d'aider chacun à appliquer la méthode Hardt.EXTRAIT Chapitre 1 Qu'est-ce qu'une bonne présentation? De même qu'il est plus facile d'imaginer l'enfer que le paradis, il est plus aisé de se figurer une mauvaise qu'une bonne présentation.Qui ne s'est jamais senti somnolent ou ennuyé en assistant à un exposé interminable, regorgeant de listes à puces et de textes fades rehaussés d'animations plus loufoques que subtiles? Sans parler du présentateur monocorde ou confus, tellement absorbé par ses graphiques qu'il se révèle incapable du moindre sourire, voire d'un simple regard vers son auditoire.Une telle séance d'hypnose provoque le sentiment amer d'avoir gaspillé un temps précieux à écouter sans rien apprendre. L'information, même pertinente, ne vaut rien sans une mise en scène captivante. Pourtant, les mauvaises présentations sont légion.Rien d'étonnant à cela lorsqu'on sait le peu de soin qu'apportent de trop nombreux professionnels à la préparation de leur intervention. Tant de présentations sont bâclées en une poignée d'heures, parfois la veille ou le matin même.

Despite the prevalence of PowerPoint in professional and educational presentations, surprisingly little is known about how effective such presentations are. All else being equal, are PowerPoint presentations better than purely oral presentations or those that use alternative software tools? To address this question we recreated a real-world business scenario in which individuals presented to a corporate board. Participants (playing the role of the presenter) were randomly assigned to create PowerPoint, Prezi, or oral presentations, and then actually delivered the presentation live to other participants (playing the role of corporate executives). Across two experiments and on a variety of dimensions, participants evaluated PowerPoint presentations comparably to oral presentations, but evaluated Prezi presentations more favorably than both PowerPoint and oral presentations. There was some evidence that participants who viewed different types of presentations came to different conclusions about the business scenario, but no evidence that they remembered or comprehended the scenario differently. We conclude that the observed effects of presentation format are not merely the result of novelty, bias, experimenter-, or software-specific characteristics, but instead reveal a communication preference for using the panning-and-zooming animations that characterize Prezi presentations.
