DESCRIPTION
You may have heard that management consultants spend the majority of their time cranking out PowerPoint slides. There is much truth to do this—and for good reason.
A PowerPoint presentation is not only a great communication tool, it is also the form of most consulting deliverables—i.e. the end product purchased by the client. The presentation must lay out the recommended solutions, the key takeaways, and analyses performed.
You may have done the most thorough, bullet-proof analysis and formulated the best strategic recommendation. However, all this is worthless, if you can't communicate it clearly and in a compelling way through your PowerPoint slides.
This presentation focuses on the art of presentation development. Topics covered include storyboarding, pyramid logic structure, rule of 2, document writing principles, and slide structuring. It also includes a training exercise.
This PPT delves into the core principles of effective document writing. Emphasizes writing for your audience and keeping it simple. These foundational guidelines ensure your message is clear and impactful, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
Storyboarding is highlighted as a critical initial step. Sketching out your story early helps check the logic flow, organize the team, and monitor progress. Various media and levels of detail are discussed, from post-its to detailed A4 pages, catering to different needs and preferences.
The document also covers the importance of clear headlines and well-structured slides. Headlines should capture the essence of the story, while the main body should provide detailed insights. Bumpers at the end of each page summarize the implications, making the content more digestible for the audience.
