action and/or implementation.
- Responsibility is often shared, with each
individuals degree of responsibility determined
by the individual with the A.

114Vertical Analysis
- Too Many R's
- No empty spaces
- No R's or A's
- Too many A's
- Qualifications
115Too many Rs
- Can the functional role stay on top of so much?
Can the decision/activity be broken into smaller,
more manageable functions?
116No R's or A's
- Should this functional role be eliminated? Have
processes changed to a point where resources
should be re-utilized?
117Too many A's
- Does a proper "segregation of duties exist?
Should other groups be accountable for some of
these activities to ensure checks and balances?
- Is this a bottleneck in the process and is
everyone waiting for decisions or direction?
118Horizontal Analysis
- No Rs
- Too Many R's
- Too many A's
- Many C's
- Many I's
119No R's
- Is job getting done? Some roles may be waiting to
approve, be consulted, or informed. No one sees
their role to take the initiative.
120Too Many R's
- Is this a sign of over the wall activities?
Just get it off my desk ASAP!
121Too many As
- Is there confusion? I thought you had it! It
also creates confusion because every person with
an A has a different view of how it is or
should be done.
122Lots of Cs or Is
- Cs - Do all the functional roles really need to
be consulted? Are there justifiable benefits in
consulting all the functional roles?

routinely informed or only in exceptional
circumstances?

146PowerPoint
- An audience is 43 more likely to act on a
speakers message if he or she uses visual aids.
- University of Minnesota, 1986
147PowerPoint - Counterpoint
- Hugh Shelton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, ordered military presenters to purge their
presentations of overblown graphics and special
effects. - Scott McNealy, president of Sun Microsystems,
forbade the use of PowerPoint at Sun in 1997.

Accident Investigation board was that chronic use
of PowerPoint communication at NASA prevented the
effective flow of information that contributed to
the Columbia disaster
149PowerPoint - Strengths
- Pictures and Graphics
- Communication delivered over multiple channels is
more efficient than communication over a single
channel. Multiple channels make it more likely
that the whole message will be received. An
appropriate picture adds another channel.
150PowerPoint - Weaknesses

- Write in point form, not complete sentences
- Include 4-5 points per slide
- Avoid wordiness use key words and phrases only
153Slide Structure - Bad
- This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point
form, making it difficult both for your audience
to read and for you to present each point.
Although there are exactly the same number of
points on this slide as the previous slide, it
looks much more complicated. In short, your
audience will spend too much time trying to read
this paragraph instead of listening to you.
154Slide Structure Good
- Show one point at a time
- Will help audience concentrate on what you are
saying
- Will prevent audience from reading ahead
- Will help you keep your presentation focused
155Slide Structure - Bad
- Do not use distracting animation
- Do not go overboard with the animation
- Be consistent with the animation that you use
156Fonts - Good
- Use at least an 18-point font
- Use different size fonts for main points and
secondary points
- this font is 24-point, the main point font is
28-point, and the title font is 36-point
- Use a standard font like Times New Roman or
Arial
157Fonts - Bad
- If you use a small font, your audience wont be
able to read what you have written
- CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT
TO READ
- Dont use a complicated font
158Color - Good
- Use a color of font that contrasts sharply with
the background
- Ex blue font on white background
- Use color to reinforce the logic of your
structure
- Ex light blue title and dark blue text
- Use color to emphasize a point
- But only use this occasionally
159Color - Bad
- Using a font colour that does not contrast with
the background colour is hard to read
- Using colour for decoration is distracting and
annoying.
- Using a different colour for each point is
unnecessary
- Using a different colour for secondary points is
also unnecessary
- Trying to be creative can also be bad
160Background - Good
- Use backgrounds such as this one that are
attractive but simple
- Use backgrounds which are light
- Use the same background consistently throughout
your presentation
161Background Bad
- Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or
difficult to read from
- Always be consistent with the background that you
use
162Graphs - Good
- Use graphs rather than just charts and words
- Data in graphs is easier to comprehend retain
than is raw data
- Trends are easier to visualize in graph form
- Always title your graphs
163Graphs - Bad
164Graphs - Good
165Graphs - Bad
166Graphs - Bad
- Minor gridlines are unnecessary
- Font is too small
- Colours are illogical
- Title is missing
- Shading is distracting
167PowerPoint - Tips
- Only use when necessary
- Use Bullets
- Use graphics sparingly
- Dont overuse animation
- Dont use it to discuss highly technical
information
- Dont use the handouts function
168Communication - Performance
- Consult with HR
- Do counseling in private dont counsel someone
in front of the team
- Document serious lack of performance
- Easier to indicate lack of performance of Goals
and Standards were already set
169Emails
- Emails are overused
- If its longer than a paragraph call the
person(s) or set up a meeting

- Dont criticize management via email
- Never put someone down in an email
170Handling Conflict

handle it
