2. Don Tapscott:
Four Principles for the open World
Don Tapscott is the chair of
Maxie Insight and has written 14
books about aspects of the new
world. Don takes a look at our
digital connected
hypercollaborative world. Don
can see the future coming and
he works to identify the new
concepts that we need to
understand in a world that is
transformed by the internet. Don
is one of the world’s leading
authorities on innovation,
media, and the economy and
social impact of technology.
3. Don’s Quote:
“To me this is not an information age. It’s an age of networked
intelligence, it’s an age of vast promise.”
5. Don captured the attention of the audience by adding
humor to a personal story he was telling. He also
captured it by relating his speech to a topic that the
vast majority of today’s population is captivated by:
Technology through computers, internet and social
media.
6. Don maintained the attention of the audience
throughout his speech by his motivational
speaking on the openess of the world through
new technology of industrial social media. Don
also used videos showing how technology was
captivating the internet and the young people
of today’s society, along with a little humor.
7. Don followed the
majority of the
commandments in
his speech and
presentation. But, I
think he most
accurately followed
II, VI, & VIII.
8. The reason that I chose these
commandments is because he wasn’t
afraid to share his insight into how the
world is transferred by the internet. He
has a great dream of how technology will
revolutionize this new world, he see’s
into the future. He never flaunted
anything about himself or his company,
and he never tried to sell anything from
the stage.
10. He could have related more to the audience
through humor and personal stories. Humor
would have kept the audience more alert
interested.
11. Some of the tips that were used from
Garr Reynolds and Nancy Duarte was
the use of visuals to capture the
audiences attention, and the art of
storytelling.
12. What I learned:
What I have learned about
delivery from watching Don is that
you have to capture and keep the
audiences attention. You have to
prepare your presentation to be
appealing and interesting to the
audience.
13. Remember to relate to your
audience. You can do this by
using humor and telling stories of
personal experiences. Get them
involved in your presentation as
much as possible.
15. Don Tapscott and Sir Ken Robinson differ greatly on
their speaking style. Don uses more factual
information than Ken does. He also dosen’t have the
same technique to keep the audience engaged and
entertained.
16. Sir Ken Robinson has a special way of
connecting to his audience. He keeps their
attention through humor. He uses real life
experiences through stories to keep them
laughing, this puts the audience on a closer
personal level with him.
17. Tips for Delivery of Future
Presentations
Involvement – Get the audience involved in your presentation.
Relate – Always relate to your audience through storytelling
and personal experiences.
Knowledge – Show a clear and thorough knowledge of the
topic.
Humor – Use humor to keep the audience interested and alert.
Visual – Use interesting and colorful visuals on your topic.
