Here is one use for a slide deck: keep a meeting organized.

Yesterday I saw someone preparing a meeting with the following ingredients:

• Zoom, i.e., hard to manage

• Content that can spark heated debates

• Lots of participants…

• …and participants who would like to say a lot

A simple slide deck that might not be essential to get the messages across but organized the preparation and will organize the meeting was the solution. All points are covered (once) and will be discussed in an agreed order
