When we initially designed these slides, wecalled them 'Public Company Intro Template,' since they were meant to be a sort of publicinvestor deck that the companies could embed on their websites (we still think that's agood idea, BTW). Depending on the type of website your companyhas, a company intro in presentation form might be a good way to get people engagedin what to do.
