This framework is developed by a team of former McKinsey and Big 4 consultants. The presentation follows the headline-body-bumper slide format used by global consulting firms.
Explore the Organizational Focus framework by ex-McKinsey & Big 4 consultants. Streamline complexity across strategy, customers, products, and IT for superior performance. Organizational Focus is a 35-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPTX) available for immediate download upon purchase.
Complexity is the buildup of products, processes, systems, and organizational nodes that outlive their purpose; whereas, Focus concentrates resources on the core customers, capabilities, and offerings that matter most.
This PPT presentation provides an overview of the Organizational Focus framework, which reverses Organizational Complexity and introduces simplification. The framework uses a connected system that links Strategy, Customers, Products, Organization, Processes, and IT. Action in one area enables simplification in others.
The Organizational Focus framework encompasses 6 key dimensions or focus areas:
1. Focused Strategy
2. Focus on Customers
3. Focused Products
4. Focused Company
5. Focused Process
6. Focused IT
Organizations that concentrate on a core business and the key focus areas of the Organizational Focus model outperform their competitors. This framework shows how coordinated choices in one domain unlock simplification in others, and how customer needs anchor trade-offs, sequencing, and resource allocation.
This PowerPoint presentation also talks about a quick diagnostic to spot where Complexity erodes Focus, clear moves and simplification opportunities in each focus area, and a case study that shows how coordinated focus compounds into measurable results.
This deck on Organizational Focus also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT slide presents a case study on Ford's strategic focus on brand, product, and organizational elements, leading to measurable performance improvements. Key metrics show a reduction in brands from 8 to 2, models from 222 to 102, and employee count from 122K to 70K, reflecting a streamlining effort to eliminate redundancies. As a result, Ford shifted from losses exceeding $2 billion to earnings surpassing $20 billion within a few years. This case study illustrates how targeted focus on core assets and organizational efficiency can drive significant financial turnaround, emphasizing the importance of strategic prioritization and operational streamlining for large-scale performance improvement.
This PPT slide presents a framework for optimizing focus across 6 interconnected domains: Strategy, Customer, Products, Organization, Processes, and IT. Aligning these domains enhances organizational coherence and streamlines decision-making through a customer-centric approach. Complexity increases when decisions and processes lack alignment. The framework illustrates how choices in one domain influence others, allowing for trade-offs and sequencing that simplify operations and improve resource deployment. It provides a practical method for coordinating efforts across these domains, leading to effective management and better performance. This document serves as a structured guide for leaders seeking organizational alignment with customer needs and business priorities.
This PPT slide outlines a framework for organizational focus through streamlined product portfolios, enhancing customer value by prioritizing core offerings. The Focus Area emphasizes "Focused Products," encouraging concentration on a select set of offerings. Key impacted domains include Strategy, Customers, Processes, Products, and IT. Designing around core customer needs involves trimming offerings that add cost, delay, or confusion, advocating for disciplined product choices that enhance forecasting and shorten cycles. FocusED organizations prioritize core customer needs, applying tight gates for new variants while avoiding unnecessary catalog expansion. Practical steps include quantifying value by SKU, trimming low-value lines, adopting modular systems, and streamlining SKU management to reduce complexity and cut costs. This focused approach can lower costs, shorten product cycles, and enhance customer satisfaction, driving better organizational performance.
This PPT slide introduces 5 diagnostic questions for executives to enhance organizational performance by addressing complexity. The questions focus on strategic investments, product offerings, organizational support, process redesign, and IT systems. The first 2 questions assess if the organization invests adequately across markets and if the product portfolio meets diverse customer needs. The third evaluates whether the organizational structure supports all processes effectively, while the fourth examines if functions are redesigned for internal efficiency. The fifth question checks if IT systems align with business processes. Affirmative answers signal the need for targeted simplification and strategic realignment, enabling better decision-making and resource allocation. This framework helps leaders identify areas where complexity undermines focus and efficiency.
This PPT slide outlines a product-centric approach for executives to streamline their portfolio and better serve core customers. Focusing on specific product areas simplifies decision-making across sales, supply, and IT functions. The "Focus Area" of Focused Products converts complex portfolio disciplines into actionable strategies, enhancing alignment with customer value, standardization, and demand management. Key initiatives include removing low-value SKUs to reduce inventory complexity, increasing parts commonality to lower costs, adding gating processes for new variants, simplifying configuration and digital flows to improve conversion rates, consolidating suppliers to optimize cycle times, conducting regular SKU reviews, and tracking metrics like SKU count and forecast accuracy. These strategic moves create a leaner product portfolio that directly supports core customer needs, translating product focus into operational simplification and improved performance across functions.

"Last Sunday morning, I was diligently working on an important presentation for a client and found myself in need of additional content and suitable templates for various types of graphics. Flevy.com proved to be a treasure trove for both content and design at a reasonable price, considering the time I
saved. I encountered a download issue during the ordering process. However, a quick email to Flevy's support team, even on a Sunday (!!!), resulted in assistance within less than an hour, allowing me to download the content I needed. Fantastic job, Flevy! I give 5 stars for both content/price and customer service. Thank you!
