Audience on the Stage

Last month Nancy Duarte spoke at Web2.0 Expo and it was a huge success.

In preparation for her talk she asked me if there would be a way to reproduce an exercise called “Speaker & Audience Mapping” that she usually leads in the slideology workshops. The exercise goes like this: the audience picks one of a dozen different audience types (eg. Oakland Raider Fans, Trekkies, Girl Scouts, PETA). Then Nancy asks the entire group to shout out responses to several questions.

  1. Web 2.0 Expo Attendees

  2. Finding Solutions: Twitter

  3. SMSPolls

  4. open ended stream of ideas–not a multiple choice poll.
  5. ChatRoom

  6. Conclusion

  7. What does your experience say?
