Really appreciate the simple to follow breakdown and practical tips after each explanation! Would definitely recommend this to other people looking to build compelling slides!
Well done Dan. This is neatly explained. We should all remember that our audience doesn't want to listen to us for longer than strictly necessary. It's our responsibility to give the core message upfront, and drill down the details only after we've made clear what the key information is.
I just found your videos, and I wanted to tell you that they are incredibly helpful! I have one more year of university left, and I have been trying to gain as many skills as possible to be able to have a future in consulting. Thank you so much! You also seem super passionate about what you do, which is really nice to see :)
In a live presentation, would you go through the executive summary and then into deck, or just straight to the argument and data and having executive summary for pre-read?
Go through the executive summary because that gives the audience the answer/recommendations immediately. Then if they have questions about any part of the executive summary, you can go through the relevant body slides
@@DanGalletta would you still then present the deck as is? Or only executive summary slide and depending on the questions you decide which part of the body you present?
Thanks for the question Clemens! The SCR framework is used to sequence each of your arguments. There will be arguments for the situation, arguments for the complication, and arguments for the resolution. I cover it in more detail in this video: th-cam.com/video/CY1Y367KEko/w-d-xo.html
Thanks mate! In my example, slide 1 (answer / exec summ) should summarize all the arguments, then we run through the arguments in the slide body. As you suggested, you could have slide 2 as a visual summary if that suits the flow of the presentation and helps communicate your argument better :)

Thank you very much. Totally agree! In fact, a senior audience mostly cares about the outcome and may never want to dive into the detail 😂
True ..simplify simplify simplify and stay authentic and back with data .
Well done Dan, the best simple explanation I have come across!

Thank you data ... very informative

Hi,
very interesting explanation.
How does this approach fits together with the SCR-Framework? Thank you very much for your answer!

Great Videos, Dan! Which tools / software do you use for the hand written and animated sketches?
Thank you! It’s just an iPad and an app called Good Notes
Amazing video as always ;
Shouldn't slide 2 be Argument 1, 2, and 3? And then slide 3 being Argument 1 and its supporting 3 reasons and so on?
Thanks mate! In my example, slide 1 (answer / exec summ) should summarize all the arguments, then we run through the arguments in the slide body.
As you suggested, you could have slide 2 as a visual summary if that suits the flow of the presentation and helps communicate your argument better :)
Good explanation.
Thanks Lars!
great video and very helpfull
Glad you liked it!
Enriching and empowering workbook. Where can I buy it?
Thanks mate! I don't have a workbook but I do have a course, which you can find here: www.careerscience.co/powerpoint-course

Can you create an AI that makes McK style slides for any topic you throw at it? 🌱
Haha honestly no idea. Maybe some parts of the slide building process!
👏👏👏👏👏
