Pecha Kucha – Get to the PowerPoint in 20 Slides- @Logistia

At our technology center there are often seminars or meetings in which Power Point is always used. PowerPoint is a quite good presentation format but often the presentations are just too full of stuff and I almost fall asleep. I have looked for the new methods to present, so called  “PowerPoint killers”. I found from Hungary  the Prezi, the zooming presentation editor which I have used successfully. www.prezi.com.
Last week I heard for the first time about the Japanese Innovation: Pecha Kucha-Format, (or 20*20 method). The innovation, dubbed pecha-kucha (Japanese for “chatter”), applies a simple set of rules to presentations: exactly 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each. That’s it. Say what you need to say in six minutes and 40 seconds of exquisitely matched words and images. Here the idea is that 20 slides which are programmed to change at intervals of 20 seconds are a presentation basis. There should be room for a presentation in these; the presentation time becomes 6 minutes and 40 seconds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecha_Kucha

We test this method, at the opening of  Logistia-Institute on  1th of February @ Logistia. Our partners in cooperation present their own presentations using  this Pecha Kucha. If they can do it, I will do it.

Year 2008 is soon history- some highlights in developing of the Logistia

The year 2008 is almost gone. It is time to estimate how we succeeded in the developing of the company network in Kauhajoki in 2008.

In February we participated in the conference “Logistiikkaseminaari 2008”. We had our own stand there, presented our Technology center Logistia and the know-how of logistic systems. We got to known new cluster LIMOWA (Lifting-Moving-Warehousing) and now we are the member.

We also had our own “Logistia -seminar” in which all the speakers and subjects were from the companies of our branch from Kauhajoki. The seminar also was  recorded to a video and it is found on these web-pages.
We will arrange two Logistia-seminars 2009. The next one will be arranged on  21th of January 2009.

We generated the project application of starting the Logistia Institute.
The Institute will open soon. I will tell about this in the future a lot more.

The significant result was the fact that we made the nearly 40 students get excited about to study industrial economy. The education began in October in Kauhajoki.

We also had Logistia-stand with four companies in the  Subcontracting Fair 2008 at Tampere . The Fair was a success. We will be there 2009.

The companies of Logistia have gotten financing to the development projects. I hope that we get still more these development projects. Now it is the TIME!

I have written the companies several  “Cluster-letters” in which I inform what’s going on at Logistia. Furthermore, I have written more than 30 articles on these web pages.
Thanks to the companies for the good feedback.

Merry Christmas to everybody!

yours Jaana Suksi, the facilitator of Logistia Cluster
