- Billing slides like McKinsey is actually really easy.
I'm a PowerPoint instructor for the consulting industry, and I'm telling you, all you have to do is follow the movie framework.
First, decide on a message by making a slide about Spotify's growth. I'll put that right in the title. Second, organize your slide.
Think of all the supporting data you can for your message and categorize them into 2 or 3 groups. Then remove whatever doesn't fit. Third, visualize your information. See if you can take 1 or 2 of those categories and turn it into a chart or some sort of visual that explains it better. Fourth is the most important step, and it's calling out the insight.
There's a couple different ways to do this. The first is to state your insights directly. Don't just say the category name. Tell your audience exactly what you want them to know. And the second part of this is to highlight the insights with bolding colors, text, arrows, callouts, whatever you need. The fifth and final step is to worry about the extras.
This is all the little stuff you don't usually think about, like aligning your text and your boxes to make sure everything on your slide is organized and neat. All this framework and I promise you, soon enough you'll be building slides like a pro.

Wow, this is so insightful! And the visualisation is super-great at explaining the steps! Thank You.
So glad to hear. Thanks!
I like the "gather all supporting data, categorise and then remove the least fitting" - this tightens up the slide's message (I tend to add one too many messages). Thank you!
Have you read the book, "Strategic Storytelling: How to Create Persuasive Business Presentations" by Dave McKinsey (2014)?
In the book, Dave McKinsey goes through three interlinked deliverables by McKinsey, BCG and Accenture that they did for a US Postal Service engagement in 2010 (USPS Future Business Model) when the postal service was facing a real profit catastrophe. It's a real gem, really thorough with constructive criticism and detailed information for learning how to do analysis, effectively utilize data insights and build storytelling. I would love to see an Analyst Academy course/resource with a similar approach. It would be a big project but incredibly useful, and the demand for it exists.
Maybe focusing on a newer, publicly available deliverable (hint: BCG Reshaping NYCHA project? Or Loose Dogs in Dallas?)
Never heard of it actually, but it sounds like a good one. That would make for interesting content - thanks for the suggestion!
Always insightful. A great help with data visualisation.
Thank you!
Awesome, always enjoyed having this information. You are masterclass!!!

Thanks, another great one. Very informative.
Too damn good, wish I had seen this 3 years ago

Gold information!
🚀🚀🚀
love this
How would i go about gathering information so i can organise it?
This depends on the project and the source of your information, but if you’re starting with nothing just ask Chat GPT!
Ha, work in consulting for 2 years and it’ll be second nature
