In that case you may find http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tr/downloads/home/beyond_bullet_points_ch02.pdf interesting. Personally I don't like the way that Powerpoint is used because it encourages oversimplification. Also I think that spending great energy on fancy presentations for internal use is a waste of company time and money.
