Sketchnotes from Russell Davies CDPS talk

Tagged: Live Training | Posted: Tue, Jun 17, 2025

I was looking forward to this talk put on by the Good people at the Centre for Digital Public Services. I’ve passed on Russell’s wisdom on communication and more specifically slide presentations many times over the years, so it was a pleasure to see the man in action. I took a few notes, as prompts (a word now fast being claimed by the AI world) for myself. Using those notes to refresh my memory, I was particularly intrigued by Russell’s point about how resilient and useful the Powerpoint format is turning out to be. So much knowledge around the world encapsulated in presentations - some of it useful. I liked Russell’s idea of using powerpoint as a very visual repository, but warily circling around the idea as there’a a big danger I turn it into another procrastination tool.
