Pecha Kucha – the art of presenting “anything”

I had never heard of Pecha Kucha until two weeks before I joined Wwwins. Pecha Kucha is Japanese for the sound of conversation and a presenting format, started by two architectures living in Tokyo, Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein in 2003. The idea is to keep the presentation more concise and of high interest, especially when there are many presenters. Each presenter is allowed a slideshow of 20 images that will be shown for 20 seconds each. That gives the presenter a total time of 6 min and 40 seconds before the next one is on.
At Wwwins there is a tradition that every new employee will give a Pecha Kucha as a way to introduce themselves to their colleagues. This is done during a company meeting that is hold several times a year. But to make it even more concise and of high interest, Wwwins uses a Pecha Kucha light version. That means 10 slides and 20 seconds each. And since we were more than 20 newcomers, it was a smart idea. However, it was fun, interesting and a great way to learn more about each presenter. So next time you are about to present something. Do it the Pecha Kucha way.
