Why Russell Davies Loves PowerPoint

Writer and strategist Russell Davies joins host Lee Sankey to discuss his inspiring and witty new book about PowerPoint. We all use PowerPoint, but have you wondered who created it, why it works so well and how it effects business culture? Well Russell has. And he loves PowerPoint; perhaps we should learn to love it too.

Show Notes

We all use PowerPoint. It is part of the fabric of business communication. Yet divides opinions and arouses mixed emotions. Some companies have even banned it and it has some famous detractors.  Russell Davies joins me for a conversation about this omnipresent yet much maligned software and his brilliant new book "Everything I Know about Life I Learned from PowerPoint". We discuss PowerPoint's origins, who designed it, why it has been so successful, how it effects business communication and more.

Russell Davies is a writer and strategist. He thinks about what happens when organisations and services meet the internet and he builds things to find out more. He's worked on communications and digital strategies for organisations like Honda, Nike, Microsoft, Apple, the Government Digital Service, the Co-op and Bulb. Russell is also a regular contributor to Wired.
