I really like this presentation from North Venture Partners. It works as a self-presenting presentation. The amount of text per slide is just right if you don’t have someone speaking over it and yet it still uses the kind of arresting images that I like to see on slides. (You’ll have to click the full screen button to read it on this blog, though). It also works as a thought-provoking guide to innovation. It lists ten fails. You’ll have to watch the presentation to see what the solutions are.
- Veering off by staying on course
- Falling in love with your own voice
- Relying on one revenue stream
- Don’t act desperate or you’ll get dumped
- Going ‘back to basics’
- Betting everything on the brand (don’t forget the product)
- Launching ‘me too’ brands
- Slow to respond to market shifts
- Teaming with a bloated AOR
- Behave like a start-up

I can’t get that presentation to open from your site
I expect your company firewall is preventing the Flash file from downloading that is needed to view the presentation. Try going to Slideshare and viewing it there.
