great video. Your presentation of the material is also very profesional. You didn't seem rushed and didn't use crutch words such umms, aahs, like, right? etc. Sometimes I see many presenters ending many their sentence with the word "right?", which I think diminished their mastery of the subject because of constantly looking for confirmation from the audience. Confident presenters don't need confirmation, they just present the material with confidence. Anyway, great work AA👍
Another great video Paul, tks again! Explaining processes is not an easy task. If you could prepare a video about it I would really appreciate. Take care!
2:40 see the same elements from the title and chart. 3:55 by using waterfall charts, they can show the place of growth. 4:20 the point of charting/ displaying. 6:05 the audience will likely see your presentation at first time, they at the same time hear you speaking, reading the slide, and think of sth to say to add the discussion. 7:25 the boldness is too much this time.
Interesting concepts. I’ve generally used much shorter, to the point titles. I noticed you use much longer, more verbose titles. Is this a trend or something you prefer?
That first bar chart? Why not use a stacked bar chart that shows the percentage of new vs existing in one graphic. I know it’s just my opinion but I think that chart is terrible.
A bit counter-intuitive: Generally, slides with less text is encouraged as much text would clutter and inhibit the reader's understanding. However you say just the opposite.
I don't think text heavy slides are better, I just think they're required in some situations. In most consulting-style presentations, text and data-heavy slides are the norm. This is because there is a lot of information to communicate and claims to support. Plus these slides are usually left as a leave behind so they need to be able to stand alone without voiceover. The trick (and what we've tried to teach in this video) is to guide the audience to the most important parts of the slide to help them cut through the noise.
Interesting: In the video about the accenture slide, you mention the bullet points that give additional context are not closely connected to what the chart says as a negative point. Here, you mark it as something good. I personally disagree - bullets need to tell something about the chart. If its external information that gives context, that should be mentioned in the bullet title.
That's a nice catch. To me the situations are slightly different. In the Accenture slide the connection isn't very clear. I don't think the information is bad, I just think they could have changed some of the words so that it's easier to understand that the text is providing reasons for why the data shows what it shows. Whereas in the Bain slide the connection between the chart and the text is more clear. It doesn't call out specific data points, but it's still intended to explain the data - both the historical and estimated data (e.g. new store openings = new demand = new customers). That said, "Key Highlights" is the wrong title for these because these are not highlights of the data. "Key Drivers" would have been a better fit.
The presentation layout is not that complicated. There is a lot of videos about creating presentations. Channels like this are super rare. They teach the contents generation.

As I develop slides, i find myself re-visiting your videos repeatedly. Super rich content, thanks a lot.
You are welcome!
Hi Paul, You have been fantastic and it is great learning. thanks for putting out these videos.

Your presentation is superb
Hi, that was very insightful. Would love to see more content on Presentations. Thanks!
Thanks! More coming!

Great suggestion. Thanks!
Please make more videos like these. Thanks!
More coming soon!
It would be really cool to have a framework video for case interviews in MBB, thanks!
Noted. Thank you!
Nice content!! Would be great if you can
Explain how this charts can be made in Excel.
Great video! Thank you!
You are welcome!
Can I use this for project progress report?
Very useful!

Lol, so I wrote too soon. I still don’t like the waterfall chart

@@AnalystAcademy why add noise in the first place?

Too data heavy.
Not a useful video unless you recreate the slide and explain how it is built
Thanks for the feedback!
