Creating a persuasive multimedia powerpoint presentation for engineers

FD CDM

THE PROJECT

KAIA, a leading provider of presentation design services and brand marketing, collaborated with Flight Deck Collaborative Decision Making (FD CDM) to develop a PowerPoint presentation to improve information exchange within the aviation community. As a joint Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) government and industry initiative, the project focused on developing Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) applications to deliver digital taxi instructions to aircrews [1].

 

THE CHALLENGE

KAIA’s task was to communicate complex technical information to engineers and program managers clearly, concisely, and engagingly with high-impact graphics.

THE SOLUTION

KAIA used a storytelling framework to convey the background, features, benefits, and next steps of the FD CDM project. This approach helped present complex information in a clear, cohesive, and engaging manner, ensuring the presentation resonated with its audience. KAIA’s collaborative process involved multiple iterations with the client, refining the messaging and visuals for the presentation to ensure it met the project goals. [2]

Dynamic visuals, such as animations and 3D illustrations, added visual interest making the presentation more memorable and persuading the audience to take action. [3] KAIA’s attention to detail resulted in a polished and professional presentation that surpassed the client’s expectations.

Deliverables included a PowerPoint template, graphic support, animated video, illustration and diagrams, and 3D OV1 (High-Level Operational Concept Graphic). [4] Many of the custom graphics that KAIA created were animated rather than static, adding impact and visual interest to the presentation.
