Why oh why!


Every now and then a colleague may ask you if you could import some slides into a Prezi canvas for them. It may be because they have a very important sales pitch to a big client, they're presenting to the board, or they just want to look good when presenting this quarter's figures to their team.

If they have the slides already in PowerPoint or Keynote then why oh why don't they just use that? Do they really think that importing slides into Prezi is somehow going to magically make their presentation better than it was without any extra time or effort?

If anyone ever asks you to do this just smile and politely tell them you'll help, but then add the words bear in mind that slides are still slides in any medium. When they then ask what you mean you'll be glad you read this chapter.

Before we look at how to deal with this situation and Prezify slides let's understand exactly why we won't be able to escape this in business.
