Strategic Presentations
Even the most technical subjects can greatly benefit from storytelling. We helped Google deliver a persuasive talk about the Java language and its future. We started by preparing a script to make the speaker’s knowledge accessible and explain delicate issues. Then we created great, inspiring and surprising visuals to reinforce the message. We then helped the speaker master the delivery of his presentation, helping him rehearse and become familiar with the environment of the stage.
Word Bank Group
Strategic Presentations and Coaching
What happens when you are sitting on a wealth of know-how and knowledge and it isn’t being shared? The answer: nothing! This is one of the challenges we faced with the World Bank’s sixty-year treasure trove of development experience. We created the roadmap to help launch an Open Learning Campus where not only is knowledge shared and disseminated, practitioners are also able to find each other. This effort was so successful that we were invited back to give a master class in Strategic Storytelling to the Bank’s most senior management. Result: those senior managers are sharing the tools within their divisions and crucial world-changing knowledge is once again flowing!

Pierre Fabre
Event Design & Animation
Most international businesses bring their top managers together at least once a year, but instead of making best use of this time to achieve clear objectives, most companies just sit them in an auditorium for several days and make them listen to increasingly boring presentations. The pharma arm of Pierre Fabre wanted to do something different. Ideas on Stage helped them to set clear objectives, create an interesting and interactive agenda, build a memorable theme, and work with session leaders to ensure every part of their annual management retreat was an event in itself. We also produced high-quality slides, coached speakers, and animated the event with one of our experienced on-stage MCs. The result? Participants loved the event, the organisers met their objectives - and we’re now working with them for the third year running.
