Harnessing PowerPoint for Today's AI Landscape
In a world where Generative AI is revolutionizing the creation of presentations, understanding the fundamentals of tools like PowerPoint has never been more critical. From September 4 to September 18, 2026, C&R Company will host two insightful online seminars titled "AI時代のPowerPoint活用術 Vol.6/Vol.7". These sessions aim to equip participants with the essential skills for creating effective and memorable slide presentations.
Why Focus on PowerPoint?
With AI significantly speeding up the slide creation process, many people find themselves facing new challenges. Although AI can generate slides quickly, it often leads to issues such as:
- - Inability to convey the intended message
- - Lack of personal branding
- - Most slides needing to be redone repeatedly
This seminar series encourages attendees to return to the basics of PowerPoint. By pinpointing the areas where AI can assist versus where personal control is essential, participants can develop slides that not only communicate effectively but also serve as reusable assets.
Seminar Details
The seminars will explore the intricacies of the "Slide Master" feature—often underutilized due to its perceived complexity. The focus for Vol.6 will be on understanding the relationship among the Slide Master, layouts, and individual slides. Participants will learn what changes will occur when certain elements of the master are edited.
In Vol.7, the seminar will shift to the design aspects of one's own Slide Master. Key topics will include:
- - Designing elements such as logos, page numbers, and titles within the master layout
- - Establishing frequently used layout patterns for ease of use
- - Creating reusable templates that can streamline future presentations
Meet Your Instructor
Both seminars will be led by Toshimi Furusawa, a certified Small Business Consultant and IT Coordinator. Since launching his computer support business in 2001, Furusawa has dedicated himself to helping individuals and organizations enhance their productivity through effective training.
