Consulting Presentations and Storytelling

This is the #5 course in the specialization on management consulting. In the previous 4 courses, we’ve learned how consultants break down problems with tools and logical thinking. Now, it’s time to bring all the parts together into consulting-quality presentations and deliverables. Every consulting project is different, and yet, the final presentation will have many of the same elements: • Clear alignment among the stakeholders on the project goals • Understanding on the consulting approach, assumptions, and decisions • Thoughtful progression of ideas that “brings the audience along” • Well-constructed PowerPoint slides (or excel model) which tell a clear story • Impactful use of graphs, tables, data visualization • Persuasive and authoritative delivery style

I highly recommend this specialization. Great practical real-world tips, tricks, and advice. But more importantly, it will change your thinking and help you adopt the mindset of a consultant.

Another great course delivered brilliantly by John - thank you. The only thing that could make it better is the ability to download the slides (please make this as default for all courses!)

Great course. This is not a skill I’ve needed very often in my career in the past, but it is becoming increasingly important for what I’m doing. I learned many good tips. Thank you, John!

Good instructor. The speed is a bit slow, but the content is good. I do recommend the book Storytelling with Data by Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic.
