Paperprezi

Presentation-perdition? Food coma?!

If presentations have already lost their wind

and there’s nothing left but the staring eyes and the bluish looming faces
and dozens of ppt slides,
during the conventional lectures they are only waiting for the caffe-break,
with no trace of enthusiasm or comprehension, furthermore:
you’re expected to show something innovative?!

Deliver your message with PAPERPREZI

so that their jaws drop
you engage them fully,
connections will be clear,
they’re going to be enthusiastic,
you compress the essence on one page.
you inspire and create joy
while you save a plenty of time.

I want to know more!

We cannot afford to let our people leave the event, that cost us tremendous efforts, time, money and energy to organise, as they came. What a waste it is having to toil with passive participants or to seek the essence on illegible, crinkly flipcharts! That would be the most expensive event.

Grafacity’s illustrators organise all the elments of your message into a metaphor full of life. Our hand drawn illustrations and the conception as a WHOLE constitute a system. The captivating process of delivering the presentation gives birth to the “chemistry”. The pieces of information gain significance when well structured around the subject. People start to understand the journey, because they see themselves within it and the message speaks to them through all senses.

People-oriented presentation to real people, naturally and plainly.

The support behind our initiative is increasing.

They understand it and they will love it. They take it away and they will talk about it.

Amaze your managers and colleagues by the power of images, so that the business turns into the right direction!

Our PaperPrezi’s are designed in cooperation with the You, taking into consideration the proposed objects, the process, the headcount, the venue and even corporate branding regulations

The dimension is defined by the function: is can be anything from A3 to several meters.

Testimonials

“This was the best presentation! – acclaimed the participants of the 2 days workshop organised for international experts!”
I was host and lecturer of the international workshop of Auchan Retail Hungary. After having struggled a couple of hours with my presentation, I decided to put my PPT aside and take the plunge into what Szilard taught me!
I turned my presentation into a 3 x 1 meter “Lean in Hungary” strategic timeline that I completed with A5 sized cards in course of the presentation picturing the photos of the key moments, just as we’ve learned at the training.
PaperPrezi gave it a new impulse and the unique visualisation reinforced me in the idea that
it’s worth breaking with the traditional forms of presentation.“

Károly SARKADI, Chief LEAN Expert I Auchan Retail Hungary

Testimonials

“The creative genuine of the Grafacity Team has always surprised me, as they solved complex “hard to depict” management issues. The messages come across for the first sight from their placards. Besides they turned out to be an absolute reliable and professional partner during consultations and implementation, they also created great vibe.
It is joy to work with them.“

Bence ANDRÁSI, Logistics Planing Team Leader I Robert Bosch Hatvan Hungary Ltd.

Testimonials

“…we’ve been also looking forward to the reactions and it turned out to be very good. Many colleagues were pleased with the solution, that they got something else but static slides with text. We managed to make the “onepager” also and we distributed them….“

Szabolcs TÖRÖK, Head of Marketing I Hungarian Post Ltd.

Testimonials

“The presentation cards perfectly facilitated the comprehension and also the messages to get through. The individual illustrations prepared in the course of the process reflected absolutely what was being said and they were informative too. I had no time to seek on the internet anyway, but it was a whole lot greater help for me to be able to talk with a professional facilitator either. The execution was 100% customer oriented: the creative part, the sizes, colours of the cards were perfected in the 2nd, 3rd rounds and the pace was just perfect. I can only recommend them.“

Testimonials

“First of all I was very much impressed by Szilárd’s “promptness”. As soon as he arrived to my office the large sheet was put on the wall and he got down to putting into drawing all I was saying without loss of information. It was typical of his preparedness as he saw through our case and placed it into context. I was especially pleased with the brilliant elaboration and the graphical quality of the poster. Already his first version covered my expectations in 95%. The other important impression I had was about the speed, how fast the various versions were sent and returned, without loss of time. Using Grafacity’s technology I was able to add all I wanted, their attitude was flawless. Everyone tried to make something creative, but out of the 4 presentations ours was by far of the highest standards. It represented perfectly what we went through last year and it became everyone’s wallpaper since then.”

Frequently Asked Questions:

Hide Box

1. What type of paper presentations do you make?

There are 3 types we typically choose from:

Paper based “conventional” PaperPrezi: the system, the map is a large sheet we orientate on, while the small sheets providing the content are placed on by the presenter during the delivery.
Electronic – one slide animated presentation: the plan of the concept is the base of the slide, with the elements appearing on separate layers in defined order on the slide. We take care of the paper and hand-drawn look of these presentations to avoid the commercial digital-drawn look.
Static slides (illustrations) drawn digitally or by hand.

No need to say: we prepare unique presentation tools for each Client.

2. OK, so paper is cool, but how do you show a video or a dynamic graph?

A question to matter!

These obviously cannot be set aside, for they are amazingly efficient media.
The solution is their combination that I refer to in my Presentation about Paperprezi ( on Youtube, currently Hungarian ).

We use each tool to what they are most suitable for: we use them functionally, not l’art pour l’art, for their own sake..I normally use the digital tools to unfold a certain detail and to go deeper in it.

Dennis ROFFEY – Synnamore Consulting (Kaptár Offices, Budapest 2013. Org Design WS.)
Here you can see how the PPT is full of details, while Paperprezi covers the overall picture.

3. How long does it take to get my PaperPrezi?

PaperPrezis require various solutions to make depending on size, number of elements, and techniques, so we can give exact information on the necessary designing and production times only upon consulting our colleague and assessing the actual workload.

Preparing a paper based presentation takes typically 2-3 days for the illustrator, and 2-3 consultations on the Client’s side.

7 illustrations in one of our presentations made for the European Parliament was drawn on a tablet: it took around one night to make them for the next day. The Slide-show used these illustrations plus the creative summaries (filled templates) from the morning workshops.

Most of the editing was practically done in the taxi between the two locations, and in the last minutes before the Workshop Reporting

A Slide-show szerkesztésének dandárja jóformán a 2 helyszín között taxiban és a prezentálás előtti utolsó percekben zajlott.

Thank God, it was completed, so Paperprezi has come out in Brussels too!

4. So this is not visual recording then, right?

No, it isn’t. Paperprezi is not prepared on site, or at least it is not made while delivering the presentation. That one is called visual recording.

Grafacity’s PaperPrezi’s are always prepared prior to the presentation actually taking place, and they are made in a consultative form, be it personal at the Clients’ offices or online discussions.

Gloria and Szilard right after our consultation with our client from BOSCH (Hatvan, Hungary).

PaperPrezi is SIMILAR to many of our services (just like Visual recording and Big Pictures), because it:
1) helps to distill the core of complex messages,
2) clarifies the message with right keywords and simple (business) visuals,
3) conveys the theme in ONE framework, (often in a simple metaphor inserted in a real, handy “Onepager”).
PaperPrezi goes beyond, because:
4) the speaker may supports his (her) complex message with a powerful, systemic visual aid,
5) while saving time, (s)he builds better connection, higher understanding, and lasting positive memories,

5. Do you draw “slides” to be inserted into 'PPT'?

Of course we draw that as well.
We draw such solutions, You’d never find in GOOGLE – while recognising Corporate Branding requirements.

6. So what makes it different from “Big Picture” then, or the presentation thereof?

Primarily it’s the way of delivering them: Big Pictures are static. They are “Ready” as soon as pinned on the wall – They are no longer “tampered with”.

Secondly the content elements of Paperprezi are put on the large sheets before the very eyes of the audience; this is the mind map, the “container” of the elements, typically a template illustrating a metaphor where the presenter places the cards on the „strategic map” with a pace so that the audience can follow and ”digest” it.

So the system of Paperprezi comes into existence then and there where it is presented.

Therefore it is „animated”, live, can be modified at any time, moreover, it changes all the time as presented, possibly again and again, by the presenter.

And actually, Paperprezi can be made to present a Big Picture.
Every vision, strategy needs to be presented anyway.
We help you to build a powerful message phase by phase, built up from layer to layer,
and so your Big Picture shall be perfectly presented.

Why not roll out your Corporate Strategy and Vision with PaperPrezi?
Employees will love and understand it at all levels.
You’ll avoid Corporate Bullsh@t talks with it, for sure.

7. Why do you think PaperPrezi is interactive? How does a presentation pull you in??

Well, it’s a bit exaggerating, as it depends on the intention of the presenter as well.
You can pull in the audience at any time, basically because PaperPrezi provides a two directional communications opportunity:
1) PaperPrezi grabs the attention of the audience and also attracts it as long as the Presenter delivering the message. The is the PULL effect. Of Course PaperPrezi is a presentation tool, with a clear “PUSH” function: It does convey the message: We present to a certain audience, however with excellent pacing and in an exciting, wise and easy to accept method.

A few key benefits from PaperPrezi (6 advantages in comparison with other, traditional presentation tools):

PaperPrezi might stay, and shall be fully visible and approachable in the room Physically after the keynote.
Anyone can refer to the visual map of the concept, any time. it can be Shared in a handy “One-Pager”.
The audience can be invited to the board of the PaperPrezi: for Voting, Raising Questions., – vagy egyszerű döntéssel, kérdés-felelek helyzettel, bevonjuk a közönséget.
a felvázolt rendszer kritikáit, kérdéseiket feltérképezhetjük,
az előadott koncepcióra vonatkozó kérdések Post-Itekkel történő gyűjtésével (“Tedd oda, amire vonatkozik kérdésed!” – egy vetítővászonra nem tudunk “Post-itelni”)
ÉS: a PapírPrezibe bármikor bele lehet rajzolni, kiemelni,
módosítani Bármikor lehetséges. FLEXIBILITást ad.

The audience typically awaits the whole picture to build up from the beginning to the end (as opposed to the presentation slides cluttered with linear contents, information, where the audience gets saturated practically at the beginning).

PaperPrezi shall be absorbed as a PowerPoint could newer be.

8. Azért ez a papír mégis csak "mérethatáros". Hány embernek lehet hatékonyan előadni Papírprezivel?

Valóban. Határai vannak.
Egyelőre még nem értük el őket.
“Hagyományos” PapírPrezink tökéletesen működött (kamerával és projektorral támogatva) a Budapesti Kongresszusi központban megrendezett nemzetközi konferencián: több száz fő előtt.
A 3 méter 30 cm szélesre kiterjesztett Oscar táblánkat kivetítve: MINDENKI mindent látott

Amikor áttérünk az elektronikus megoldásokra (pl: “Egy-slide-os Animált PPT”):
akkor pedig már egész biztosan nincs felső határ.

9. Segítetek felkészülni, hogy előadhassak a Papírprezivel?

Természetesen.
Ez egy Új eszköz – érdemes megtanulni használni.
Online vagy személyes konzultáció formában bemutatjuk működését és lehetővé tesszük, hogy legtöbbet hozd ki a rendelkezésre álló “műsoridődből” és a közönségből majd a “színpadon”.

10. Miért nyerek időt a PapírPrezivel?

PapírPrezivel megspórolhatod a két legkegyetlenebb időrablót:

A legmegfelelőbb kép, illusztráció órákon át tartó keresését a GOOGLE-n,
a PPT slide-ok szövegeinek, tartalmainak végtelen javítását, csiszolását, elrendezgetését.

PapírPrezidet vagy elkészíted magadnak, főleg ha már részt vettél Vizuális Technikák Képzésen, ahol ezt is megtanítjuk, vagy elkészítjük Mi neked, hogy tényleg csak 1-2 órádba kerüljön.

PapírPrezit használó résztvevőink visszajelzései:

“PPT-ben ezt megoldani ilyen gyorsan LEHETETLEN!”
“Elképesztő: pont olyan ábrák, grafikusan, milyenek kellenek: 30 percben!”
“A “tökéletes” ikon keresésével rengeteg időm megy el, most mindez töredék idő alatt történt meg.”
“Gyönyörű prezentációm született, míg PPT-ben ez csak többszörös időráfordítással sikerült volna esetleg.”
“A PPT hatékonyságának a sokszorosa.”
“Nem tudom elmondani, hogy mennyivel gyorsabb.”
“Töredék idő alatt hoztam létre.”

További hatalmas előny, hogy PapírPrezivel a közönségedet SOKKAL jobban meggyőzöd.
Már elsőre mélyebben fogják érteni a témát, így kevesebbszer kell elmondanod.

Általunk készített PapírPrezik időhatékonyságáról Ügyfeleink mondják:

“Lenyűgözött Szilárd “azonnalisága”: ahogy kiérkezett az irodámba és azonnal, nulla információvesztés mellett áttette rajzba a mondanivalómat. Átlátta és kontextusba helyezte ügyünket.
Már az első tőle érkező anyag 95%-ban fedte az elvárásaimat. A másik fontos benyomásom volt a sebesség volt:
amilyen gyorsan oda-vissza mentek verziók, időveszteség nélkül.”

Bocsi Attila, Value Stream Leader I Robert Bosch Hatvan Hungary

“A prezentációs kártyák 1:1-ben segítették a megértést és azt, hogy az üzenetek átmenjenek.
Nem volt arra időm, hogy keresgéljek az interneten. Sokkal nagyobb segítség volt számomra, hogy beszélhettem egy professzionális támogatóval. Hibátlan volt a sebesség. Csak ajánlani tudom őket.”

Domokos Zoltán, Beszerzési vezető I Robert Bosch Budapest
