A funny story from satirical ‘The Chaser’ shows what could happen when corporate PowerPoint presentations are taken too far.
LinkedIn executive presents moving PowerPoint eulogy at mother’s funeral
“Before a packed congregation of relatives and friends, the senior executive paid tribute to his mother through a series of bullet points, graphic charts and bold-font mission statements.”
“… the son agreed to divide his oration into three different seminar sessions, titled Strategic Collaboration, Key Achievements and Growth Outlook.”
Alas, the presentation ended the same way as too many have over the years …
” … he was sorry the tender story of how his mother and father met had to be dropped from the eulogy, when his laptop froze, leaving a large warning dialogue box projected onto the screen above the coffin.”
