step by step slides creation tutorial!!!

Question

Hi,

I am terrible at slides but will have a take-home case study presentation work shortly (as part of my interview process with a consulting firm). Is there any step by step consulting slides creation tutorial I can find online? which needs to include detailed techniques of doing consulting level ppt (not just storytelling concept).

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi,

While there are plenty of videos and literature online on how to create consulting type slides, you are better off being a bit savvy here.

Have a look at these threads , Fransesco has a great answer on take home cases:

Feel free to send me a direct message and I can share some templates with you to look at and adapt
Get a session with a peer/coach to review your slides and presentation

All the best

Hi there,

There are a number of resources out there for slide creation/templates (google is your friend here), but much more important is the story/outline that you create!

This isn't something that can be done "step by step" as every problem/presentation is different!

Rather, I recommend the following in terms of optimizing your take-home test potential:

I recommend the following:

Remember that most casing tips apply here (i.e. be very clear+focused on the objective, ruthlessly cut out information that doesn't help you meet this objective/question, make sure to thinking + communicate in a structured way, etc. etc.)
Practice/simulate this as much as possible beforehand...getting a coach to help you run through scenarios + how to react in inevitably challenging moments will do a world of good.

I have a number of written case I'd be more than happy to share with you! What I generally do with my candidates is, give them a written case x hours before our scheduled session (adjust # of hours based on the specific interview they're going to have), and then review their work during the session (as well as talk through tips+tricks to get better).

Good luck!
