business proposal Proposal of how the company should be

Alfonso Durán-Pitch, In the book business: a striptease, indicates several points of portraying how the company should be:

* A company in which the choice between “the stick” and “carrot” to break, and in which each elect the “menu” of your choice.
* A company that understands that “change management” is not a fad, but a structural reality.
* A company that assumes that the “change” will no longer be linear but discontinuous.
* A company in which the language is shared and “misunderstandings” are the exception.
* A company that puts the productive economy, as primarily responsible for the generation of “value”.
* A company in which the “trading card swaps” are solely in recess.
* A company able to combine “high tech” (high technology) with “high touch” (the human side of life).
* A company with self-critical capacity, where the peacocks are denied entry.
* A company will for the future.
* A market oriented company, in which marketing is not an isolated function.
* A company whose market is worldwide and not nations / state closer, endangered species.
* A company that does not make the “outsourcing” a panacea.
* A company judokas, not boxers.
* A company in which people are chosen for their potential, not their gender, race or social status.
* A company concerned, open, with a critical eye.
* A company in which managers learn to listen to others.
* An innovative company.
* A company committed to cooperation and not competition.
* A company that is satisfied that the “management” is more an art than a science.

Making a good presentation

business presentation Making a good presentation

I have read extensively on the subject and the idea what I like best is that of Guy Kawasaki.

His proposal is 10/20/30 rule.

A PowerPoint presentation or similar:

* should have no more than 10 slides with 10 important ideas,
* should not last more than 20 minutes
* and should not have fonts under 30 points

Also suggests what should be the content of the presentation and their order (it is intended for submitting an investment project, but is easily adaptable to other projects):

1. The problem
2. Our solution
3. The business model
4. Base technology / magic solution
5. Marketing and Sales
6. Competition
7. The Team
8. Projections and milestones
9. Status and deadlines
10. Summary and Action Plan

Another site where you can see good presentation skills is Presentation Zen by Garr Reynolds.

Also interesting is the proposal César MartínOf elevation on how to make a presentation.

1. Learn well your stuff
2. Do not use PowerPoint, you must be the center of the display. Use your product demonstrations, images that serve to support your speech. What is not relevant to disappear.
3. Start with 3 key ideas, develops each and ends with these 3 key ideas again.
