Here's an unfortunate fact: Your PowerPoint presentations are probably boring your coworkers. Slides with blocks of text and data aren't the most visually appealing, so you're doing your findings a disservice when trying to present them this way. The easiest method to make your slides interesting and communicate your ideas more clearly is with Visio, Microsoft's diagramming tool. StackSocial is now offering lifetime access for only A$30 (reg. A$375)!

Like PowerPoint, Visio offers premade templates plus 250,000+ shapes to start your diagramming journey. Swap bulky text blocks and bulleted lists for flowcharts, org charts, floor plans, and other diagrams. You might just interest your audience more and prevent any confusion or lingering questions.

Visio is also useful for brainstorming sessions. Visualize your problems and develop solutions with fishbone diagrams and SWOT analysis.

You can even link your diagrams to internal or external live data, allowing you to stay organized or easily pull up sources during presentations. Org charts can also be automatically generated by uploading an Excel, Exchange, or Microsoft Entra ID file.
