Nancy Duarte is a communication expert and the CEO of Duarte, Inc., a communication design and consulting agency based in Silicon Valley. She is well-known for her work in presentation design and storytelling, and she has authored several books on the subject, including “Resonate: Present Visual Stories that Transform Audiences” and “Slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations.”
One of the concepts Nancy Duarte introduced is “SlideDocs.” SlideDocs are a hybrid of slide decks and documents that are designed to be comprehensive and self-contained, providing information and context to readers or viewers.
The idea behind SlideDocs is to combine the visual power of slides with the thoroughness of written documents. SlideDocs utilize concise text, impactful visuals, and a logical structure to effectively communicate complex information. They often include narrative elements, storytelling techniques, and persuasive messaging to engage and inform the audience.
