It's called CAST (Content, Audience, Story, & Tell)
and it's been a quiet success, until now. Developed over a
twelve year period as a presentation method to help Enterprise
Architects, it was adopted by Microsoft Enterprise Architecture
teams and filtered from IT managers to Sales, and beyond to major
organizations around the world. Now, thanks to this unique book
from an expert author team that includes two Microsoft presentation
experts, you can learn how to use this amazing process to create
and make high-impact presentations in your own
organization.

The book helps you build complete visual stories, step by step,
by using the CAST method to first create a Story Map and from
there, a compelling presentation. It includes sample Story Maps,
templates, practical success stories, and more. You'll
