Powerpoint culture

A work culture that encourages dumb presentations and meetings about strategy based on gut feelings and hand gestures. The strategy is never really executed after the presentation. Also the exhibitors usually support setting goals as a way of life and endless boring conversations about the structure of their team.
The presentations almost always use Microsoft's Powerpoint software.

The culture worships graphic design and helps incompetent people to keep their jobs even though if they were to die tomorrow, the company’s profits would not be harmed and even improved.

If the presentations are on stage it can also be called "TED culture".
I got fired. I have to feed my kids ... Jessica's dad arranged for me to do a temporary office cleaning job. But it's not so bad, a break from the powerpoint culture. You don't even have to send weeklies to the boss there.

Death By PowerPoint 2007

The shocking over use of the new "3D" and Smart-Art features in PowerPoint 2007 to make a dull presentation look 'great'. Although the author might love it, the audience will have hurty eyes from all the ugly shiny effects and bright colors.
