Nothing radical in this list from BusinessWeek, but they are still good reminders. Read through the article and imagine someone presentating the information with only their image on screen (they have an image for each idea), using the text as their script - I think this is an excellent example of using compelling visuals (RIP on the last slide).

And I like the thumbnails of the slides across the bottom - that wouldn’t be difficult to add to a slide deck, and it would give the audience some idea of where they’ve been and where they’re going. The catch is, you can probably fit no more than 10 thumbnails or you’ll end up with unidentifiable images - sounds like no better reason to have 10 slides or less! (a la Kawasaki)
