PowerPoint should be scrapped – study / Contractor UK, 20 April 2007

"Reassurance that it’s ‘ok’ to fall asleep in corporate presentations via Microsoft software has arrived in the shape of research from Australia."
Help! My brain is overloaded! / University of South Wales, 23 March 2007
http://digbig.com/4sqgx
"Key points about Cognitive Load Theory:
- Working memory is only limited when you’re learning new information. Once information is in long-term memory, it can be brought back to working memory in very large amounts.
- In a classroom situation, only limited material is going to be retained, unless notes are taken or handed out.
- Power-point presentations can backfire if the information on the screen is the same as that which is verbalized, because the audience’s attention will be split between the two."

PDF - http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrpdf/rr553.pdf
"This report presents the findings of the first phase of a research project which aimed to identify the specific management behaviours associated with the effective management of stress at work and to build a management competency framework for preventing and reducing stress at work. The project also aimed to identify those behaviours associated with each of the six HSE Management Standards and those behaviours associated with the implementation of the Standards. A final aim was to explore the possible integration of the emergent competency framework into existing management competency frameworks."

How to Talk to Your Boss About Being Overworked / CIO, 18 Jan 2007
http://digbig.com/4qwsh
Stewart Deck
"Ongoing communication with your supervisor about your workload is key to pushing back. Twelve-hour workdays packed with mile-long to-do lists and meetings on top of meetings. Cell phones and BlackBerrys that are always on, and laptops you take home to squeeze in one more hour of work. What can you do to cope with on-the-job scope creep? Stand up and say something before your head explodes."
