6 Steps on Building a Presentation Deck like a Microsoft MVP

6 Steps on Building a Presentation Deck like a Microsoft MVP

December 15, 2021 in Centriq News, Corporate IT Training, ITIL / by Andrea Pomatto

We live in a world where online presentations and meetings take up a huge chunk of our time. With so much information and content to retain, a lot of presentations just become part of the noise and are often forgotten. One of the skills (out of many) that our trainers learn and evolve as they manage training sessions is how to engage and captivate their class so that the content presented is absorbed. One of our trainers, Nate Chamberlain was gracious enough to show us all of his secret presentation tricks he’s learned along the way. In a recent webinar Nate demonstrated the following tips you can use in PowerPoint that will make your presentation stand out from the noise:

1. Plan out your presentation
2. Take advantage of the Insert menu

4. Maintain brand standards
5. Help narrate your story by using animations
6. Set aside time to prepare your delivery

Behind the Scenes of our ITIL4 Foundation Course – Centriq

December 13, 2021 in Centriq News, Corporate IT Training, ITIL / by Centriq Training

Continuous education is a hallmark of any profession. Education develops an individual, but it also benefits the organization the employee works for: creating opportunity, offering new or enhanced employee’s strengths and skills. It strengthens the person, the team, and the business. Lifelong learning has long been a passion for me. Having been in jobs that did not offer training, I know the frustration of feeling personally limited.

From ITIL Foundations to ITIL Master: An Essential Overview

From ITIL Foundations to ITIL Master: An Essential Overview

May 4, 2018 in Corporate IT Training, ITIL / by Centriq Training

ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is a framework that offers guidance for IT Service Management. It has been around for many years, but the United States only recently caught on to its value.

ITIL was developed in Great Britain in the 1980’s after Margaret Thatcher discovered that the government’s IT department wasn’t providing much value. They contracted with IBM to do a study of organization’s IT units to identify what they did to be successful. In that study, success was defined as “providing services to the overall organization that the organization finds valuable.” The first version was published in 1989 and has been revised three times, most recently in 2011, and will be revised again this year.Read More
