Top Secrets for Finding Organizational Change PPT Files, PDFs, Presentations, and More

Below are some of the most popular, widely used resources for finding B2B presentations, slides, and PPT files.

SlideShare

LinkedInโ€™s SlideShare website is widely used and widely known.

It is a go-to resource for virtually any kind of presentation you could ask for.

Most commonly, though, it is used as a resource for B2B presentations.

Available formats include:

  • PDFs
  • ODPs and PPTs
  • Word and OpenOffice Documents

Since it is directly connected to LinkedIn, it allows anyone with a LinkedIn account to easily upload and publish their presentations.

It is also possible to download PPTs from SlideShare, if the presentation authors permit it.

YouTube

YouTube, of course, is a large repository of video content, including presentations of every shape and size.

It is easy to find presentations, keynotes, speeches, webinars, and more, on virtually any topic.

Change management professionals can find topics on:

And much more.

Private Organizations

Private organizations are also great resources for PPTs, PDFs, and downloadable content.

A few good go-to websites include:

  • Prosci โ€“ Prosci is a well-known change management consultancy. They publish a wealth of downloadable content on their website. And you can also find plenty of other resources on YouTube, SlideShare, LinkedIn, and other third-party websites.
  • Kotter International โ€“ Kotter International is the change management firm founded by John Kotter. Their change management methodology is based on John Kotterโ€™s 8-Step Process for Leading Change. As with Prosci, you can find plenty of resources on YouTube, SlideShare, their own site, and other third-party sites.
  • Deloitte โ€“ Deloitte is a consultancy and research firm that focuses on change management, digital transformation, financial advisory, and more. The right searches will bring up PDFs, presentations, webcasts, keynotes, and many other resources.
  • Accenture โ€“ Accenture is a global leader in digital transformation. They offer a wide range of services, including change management and digital transformation consulting. Anyone in search of industry-leading ideas can find plenty of material from this company, on or off their site.

Academic Institutions

Academic institutions are also a great resource for change management content.

Harvard, Stanford, and many other schools can be excellent resources for many different content types and formats.

Not every school offers degree programs in organizational development and change, of course.

To find the best academic resources, look for schools that offer certifications in change management or organizational development.

Hacks, Tips, and Tricks for Finding PPT Files … Fast

Finding organizational change PPT files, PDFs, or orther downloadable content takes time.

Regardless of your aim โ€“ whether it is research, curiosity, or business โ€“ the right research techniques can dramatically speed up your workflow.

Search Operators

Search operators are special words or characters inserted into search engines.

They modify the results of your search โ€“ and the right ones can dramatically reduce your research time.

Here are a few useful ones:

  • Filetype:[file extension] โ€“ โ€œFiletype:PPTโ€ will bring back PowerPoint Presentations
  • Site:[website name] โ€“ โ€œSite:blog.walkme.comโ€ will bring back results from WalkMeโ€™s main blog
  • -[word to exclude] โ€“ โ€œ-2018โ€ will exclude search results containing โ€œ2018โ€
  • Quotation marks โ€“ โ€œChange managementโ€ will focus on search results that contain โ€œchange managementโ€ as a phrase, not as two separate terms

For more information on search operators, simply search for โ€œsearch operatorsโ€ followed by the name of your favorite search engine.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are another way to stay tuned to relevant content.

They come in several flavors:

  • Email subscriptions, found on almost every major blog or website, deliver content directly to your inbox
  • Social media subscriptions, such as YouTube subscriptions, Twitter follows, or LinkedIn follows, keep your social feeds tuned in to a particular account
  • Search alerts, through Google Alerts or Talkwalker, for instance, send you email updates whenever new web content is found that matches a search criteria
  • RSS subscriptions, through any popular RSS feed reader, updates whenever a websiteโ€™s RSS feed is updated

Naturally, not all of the content delivered here will be relevant or useful.

However, subscriptions can save you a great deal of time.

Rather than manually searching for downloadable content, you can just check your subscriptions periodically.
