Corporate Karaoke for Safety Training
Corporate Karaoke for Safety Training
No I haven’t been conned or suckered in by some slick snake oil Salesperson trying to sell me the latest trend in safety training.
I just heard the term βCorporate Karaokeβ for the first time (do I need to get out more?) and to me it means:
βtraining delivered by somebody with little talent or experience who just reads off a set of Powerpoint slides from a generic training package developed by othersβ
Any thoughts?
UPDATE: Just found the earliest known source of this term on Kevin Burns Blog post in 2012. Kevin says:
Are you as fatigued as I am about Corporate Karaoke? I am referring to the improper use of PowerPoint as a sing-along regurgitation of every thought in the presenterβs head written on a slide and then the audience reads along with the presenter word-for-word in the voice of Ben Stein (Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?). This is the seventh pit of hell of meetings.
