Hello Analyst Academy, Thank you for all the efforts you are making Please more videos on ppt hacks, shortcuts, creating ppt theme for client, How to visualize ideas,...
I’ve watched a lot of your video on slides used for management consulting - what would you recommended for those while are using slides for presenting their PhD thesis, sales and marketing? Would these format continue to be relevant? Otherwise, what suggestion would you be able to recommend? 😀
How would you use Aha slides/Prezi in face to face or virtual. You do amazing stuff on layouts and logic/story. What aboout keeping attention, checking understanding using new platforms like Aha slides/Prezi?
I recently made some slides to present the results of the census that took place in my country, and my construction process was exactly the same, but I didn't see this video until a couple of days later, I'm proud to know that I'm on the right track. Haha
A great overview of simple yet powerful slide design principles! The importance of proper bolding to support the main arguments of the slide can not be overstated. I would like to see more short framework based summaries as a a way to reflect on my current slide design process as well as guidance for new/incoming consultants.
powerpoint is a daunting task. what and how to say, a tight timeline, and pressure on the boss. 0:30 M.O.V.I.E. framework, a simple 5 step process. 0:50 this won't work for every single slide type - keynote slide, agenda slide, title slide ... . 1:05 first step: Message. 2:30 second step: Organization. pyramid principles. 3:40 for example. this information collected to make slides. 4:05 then we group them to separate themes. 5:00 to the other info can't be grouped, just delete it. storytelling is selecting 5:10 third step: Visualization. Strong user growth in this case. 6:55 fourth step: Insights. 8:05 the text is heavy but see how they use the bolding and color. 8:50 the point is overall growth: use CAGR 9:15 last step: Extras - alignment, footnote, formatting, anything that's going to clean up the look and feel of slides. Including the company's guideline and template. 10:00 make sure to include units, sources, and footnotes.
Thanks for the great video.❤ Are the slides always presented as a whole? I animate my slides so that the bullet point or Charts appear after each click. So that the participant is not distracted. How important is the structure of the slides there?
If I try to make a Power Point slide for someone else, that fails. If I try to make it for myself, it works. But it only works if it is not being done while attending a university course. This is what I have learned about Power Point after years of trying to use it for academic studies.
I view them as separate frameworks that address different things. The MOVIE framework is a step-by-step process for building an individual slide from scratch, whereas the SCQA framework (which we did not create) is for structuring entire presentations and isn't necessarily a step-by-step process.
Question - How do you handle graphs or charts that are from an external source? Do you simply copy paste and source it? Or do you regraph the data to fit the style guide of your powerpoint theme?
Great video (as always)! Couple of things: In the final slide, the margins of the chart overflow that of its headline. I have always strived to fit the entire chart within the margins defined by its headline. Is that not a good practice? What would you say would be the protocol here: margins defined by the chart's axes or the headline? (I also noticed this is likely a symptom of using think-cell, which doesn't account for the axis labels in the resizing animation). Another thing: at 09:53 the example slide from Accenture. I immediately noticed the significantly different font used for the chart vs. the rest of the slide. I thought that was a major no-no (cue to Ep 1 of HBO's Industry). Am I missing something here?
This slide design may be great for passive consumption. But it seems to have a lot of cognitive load for a live audience. At least this is what Cole Knaflic suggests in her storytelling with data book.
Slides like this are rarely used exclusively in a live setting; usually they're also left as a leave behind. But when they're shown live, you're right, it can be a lot. That's why it's especially important to put attention on the most useful parts of the slide (see step 4). This leaves enough info for the slide to stand alone logically, but still presents visually in a way that helps guide the audience to the insights. In practice, slides like this are the norm in consulting, finance, and many other industries. P.S. - I'm a big fan of SWD and the rest of Cole's content!
Thanks for watching! What other videos would you like to see?

Hello! How about slides that are used to communicate very technical content - typically used in engineering, chemical and electrical engineering? 😊

If I had only had this when I started my business consulting role years ago, I would have saved so much time learning. Great great stuff.

Thank you for the feedback and suggestions!
Thank you so much for this, I used this to build a report yesterday and my manager really liked it :)
Your videos are so great . Thank you Paul !
powerpoint is a daunting task. what and how to say, a tight timeline, and pressure on the boss.
0:30 M.O.V.I.E. framework, a simple 5 step process.
0:50 this won't work for every single slide type - keynote slide, agenda slide, title slide ... .
1:05 first step: Message.
2:30 second step: Organization. pyramid principles.
3:40 for example. this information collected to make slides.
4:05 then we group them to separate themes.
5:00 to the other info can't be grouped, just delete it. storytelling is selecting
5:10 third step: Visualization. Strong user growth in this case.
6:55 fourth step: Insights.
8:05 the text is heavy but see how they use the bolding and color.
8:50 the point is overall growth: use CAGR
9:15 last step: Extras - alignment, footnote, formatting, anything that's going to clean up the look and feel of slides.
Including the company's guideline and template.
10:00 make sure to include units, sources, and footnotes.
Your videos are amazing . Thank you for your teaching. I love the skill you have to make it simple .🙏
and the basics are actually pretty simple. Need to take some of your slides, print them out and tape to my wall.
Thank you! Love the crystal clear narration & explanations. This will definitely help me do better.
Good, clear explanation! Hope you achieve a bigger audience, you deserve it!
Improving slide literacy 1 video at a time. 🙏
Many thanks, Paul. Quite informative.
Great stuff man! Really useful
Great video! Thank you!
Wow brilliant
Good video, no nonsense
Great Content, thankyou sir! really useful
Excellent
You are awesome!
❤️ your work 👍
great - Tks!
Thanks for the great video.❤

Paul, another great video. I’m curious however. Have you abandoned the SCQA approach or does MOVIE fit within SCQA? Thanks.
I view them as separate frameworks that address different things. The MOVIE framework is a step-by-step process for building an individual slide from scratch, whereas the SCQA framework (which we did not create) is for structuring entire presentations and isn't necessarily a step-by-step process.
I want learn on storyboarding and develop good excel models
Too good.

Could you show examples of MOVIE that doesn’t include charts? Not all consulting is “chart-> message” which seems to be your focus? Thanks
helpful
@AnalystAcademy I can no longer find the Udemy course. It is available?
How can i consult regarding my immigrant visa that is expired

Can you make a video on powerpoint freelancing for beginners, my biggest fear is how to exactly know client's need how to manage them 🙏
If someone asks you to use Power Point, do not use it. If the person does not understand that, trying to use it for someone else results in a failure.

But what about really creating this? It looks too easy to make
