A six-part video course that teaches you how to create slides like those produced at top consulting firms
Created by alums of Bain and McKinsey, The Busy Consultant’s Guide to PowerPoint includes lessons on stacked bar charts, clustered column charts, doughnut charts, organizational charts, and waterfall charts.
Each video starts with a PowerPoint chart produced by McKinsey, Bain, or BCG. Then the two consultants — Will Bachman of Umbrex and Derek Robinson of Renegade — create that chart from scratch. You can follow along and create the chart yourself.
Using the form to the right, you can request the PPT file to follow along and create the slides yourself, along with the Data File so you don’t have to retype all the slide content.
And if you haven’t already, grab the Umbrex 200-slide PPT Consulting Templates, downloaded more than 100,000 times.
