Google Slides

I use it to build presentations to share research findings with my stakeholders. I also use it to prepare workshops and highlight what I learned in courses or conferences, and to share them with my department. However, it is also useful for me to summarize and organize lots of information. Organizing information in slides forces me to include only the essential bits in a skimmable format.

• I don't have a way to measure this in my work context, to be honest.

We use Google Slides to design PowerPoint presentations with images, GIFs, videos, and text (written) content for social media clients. This helps us show the visual and text components in the same place. We can also make and view edits in real time. We also rely on the comment and mention features.

• Operational efficiency.
• Improved communication and transparency.
• Faster turnaround on approvals.

As a pastor, I preach every week to large groups of people. Most Sundays I preach to a room of around 75-80 adults, and Google Slides helps me convey my main points effectively to my audience, as well as feature significant quote and pictures to assist with getting my point across. In short, Google Slides has helped me become an increasingly effective communicator and public speaker.

• Google Slides has increased my effectiveness as a public speaker
• Google Slides has contributed to the growth of my Sunday morning fellowship group
• Google Slides has clearly helped me hold my audience's attention on a weekly basis

We use Google Slides for presentations, proposals and reports in my organisation – it's our main collaborative document format. We export to PDF or PPT format to share with clients, and present straight out of Google Slides Presenter View, using speaker's notes. As we work in a Google Drive / Gmail environment, it seamlessly works into our filing and communications systems. It is much simpler to use collaboratively with other team mates than Keynote on iCloud (our previous approach to collaborative documents), and without the expense of all being in a Microsoft/SharePoint environment to work on collaborative Powerpoint files.

• Simpler collaboration means less time fussing around with version control and uploading documents
• Being able to import and export to PPT format means we easily interface with Microsoft-based clients, without having to pay for full Microsoft suite licences for the whole team
• Being able to easily search all documents on Google Slides through the home page means content from previous presentations doesn't need to be recreated, creating more efficient workflows

We use Google Slides for all kinds of presentations, from proposals to workshops and internal training sessions, but aside from traditional presentations, Google Slides has also become useful for publishing calendars, organograms, and other internal reference materials that need to be easily shared, updated, and accessed by different teams across the organization.

• Saves time by allowing multiuser real-time edition.
