Yep, lots of stories were told.......mostly bad stories
Even a few quite creative stories
These days there's an app for almost anything. Probably one which automatically includes the latest buzz-words into otherwise dross statements to dress up tough old mutton to look like fresh spring lamb... Such an app is probably costing the PR consultancy firms millions lol
Ecclesiastes 11:2: Divide your portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth.

Did you notice the sponsored race car featured on the front slide of the presentation.....nice touch (and gives management the warm fuzzies and tells the world the sponsorship is worth every penny its costing them)
And doesnt Todd Turner look cute these days ...got to be careful what images you use on some slides
At the top of every bubble, everyone is convinced it's not yet a bubble.

In the old days cheat sheets were often used to make things sound good.
And you are right there are apps these days to help writers / managers to gloss up their presentations.
I’ve been involved in preparing these sort of presentations. I keep getting told it was important to choose the most appropriate words (in the trade they are called buzzwords) to espouse your strategy. Besides the general narrative it’s also a great skill to be able to put the narrative into bullet points without diluting the message. A big challenge is to be able to produce diagrams / psuedo flow charts to show how all the points fit together — using arrows is important so the reader can be guided through the slide.
A really good presentation would go through many iterations - change a few buzzwords, add a couple more images, make the arrows more rounded etc etc ....all the while making sure you kept in company guidelines re fonts and colours.
What I found was that has the presentation developed management became more and more obsessed with the bull**** they were coming up ...in fact they became more and more delusional.
Turners latest presentation a reasonable effort. Best part is the subliminal w use of the Carly, Drover, Flexidrive etc logos - gives you the message that they are on top of how the world is changing.
Mind you the media are just bad in their reporting
