I took top-tier consulting slides and made them better

We read every comment so please let us know what you thought of the video!

Anybody has a Ampler alternative for mac (except Think Cell)?

wowww

Thanks

Learning so much from each video. Keep up the good work. Thanks 🙏

Great video!! For the first example, I’d use a dumbbell plot and show the change to the right of the plot for each category.

I have always a dilemma whether I should focus on delivering only the insight that I found meaningful (so I'd limit the data on the chart, e.g. show only the indexed values instead of absolute numbers, focus on the major categories etc.) or should I stimulate the stakeholders to think as well and show them more data than necessary and by doing this let them spot other interesting points which I could not notice.

What is the difference btn Dashboard and report interms of visualizations? Are the way charts are shown in Dashboard different from a report, say monthly HR Report?

Please do a video on designing visual appealing excel sheets!!

Is ampler available for mac? If not, do you have any alternative that is available for mac? Thanks!

thanks for the videos, the reworked slides are clear and concise. have learned much for your channel. any chance you could share how to make financials reporting more engaging and less suffocating with numbers.

Great work. Thank you!

Those are only for consulting ? Can we have different types

Thanks, this video was insightful

This is not a criticism, just an honest question - when/where do you see a place for aesthetics in a slide? Not that your slides aren’t clean and beutiful in their simplicity, but it feels like you tend toward simplicity whenever possible, and I just wonder if there’s potentially a tradeoff in audience engagement if the slide isn’t as “pretty”? To be fair my perspective is a little different as my presentstions are to “lay people” on financial concepts like planning for retirement. If I simplified all of my charts in a similar fashion I can’t help but feel like they’d just feel stodgy and disengaging.

Perfect !!

Great video. Keep more of this type of videos coming.

I love these videos. I work in a small consulting firm as head of data and analytics and always recommend this channel to new team members. they are usually great at analyzing but have a lot to learn at how to present their findings and these videos are always an entertaining way to put some new ideas in their heads.

Paul - I have learnt a tremendous amount from watching your videos. Keep up the great work!

This video just sold me to sign up for an advanced course. Simply outstanding content!

Building slides right now and applying the things in this video directly! The effect is immediate and very much positive :)

Nice move with the index chart - that’s was really good. Ampler appears to have a similar structure as think-cell. Is Ampler easier to use?

This is so good and insightful! I have your cheat sheet on charts and I'm currently preparing a report on a research project, and I'm challenging my senior group expert on his opinion about the chart choices and he agrees often with me that what you would recommend is actually a better way. It's great that my colleague has an open mind to change his opinion when I explain the reasoning behind what chart and what elements I choose.

Ampler…

Paul what software are you using to create these slides? Only Ambler? Thanks

Excellent!! Thank you for showing how index charts are made.

As someone who frequently creates PowerPoint presentations, I found this video incredibly helpful. Before hearing your insights, I had my own ideas and was curious to see if they'd match up with yours. Turns out, they mostly did, which is really reassuring since I've gained so much from your content.

Thank you for breaking down indexing.

This is a great rework! One thing to note on the color choices for the first slide, we have a progressive color pallet we are expected to use. I think that's why they had the grey to blue in the original. Not necessarily an active choice of those colors

I've read some Bain workshop decks at work, and noticed they use this one graphic/visual feature in their presentations: Red underlines, dashes, or circles, around impact items which are deliberately made to look like they've been made by hand with a marker. The rest of the slide looks MBB-polished (almost sterilized) clean but the red dashes stick out, in a good way. It somehow brings the presentation "down to earth" and reminds you of ad-hoc brainstorming sessions on a whiteboard or notes on a notepad. Have you noticed these and what do you think?

Inspiring - your videos make me strive to improve my own slide-making skills. Thanks from a Danish viewer.

For the second slide, I think removing the ALL CAPS from the second line of the subtitle would also have been a useful change.

I would appreciate a video (either here or on the website) or a comment back that clearly explains the differences in the 3 courses. If all three are purchased, is there unique value being obtained from each or is the information largely repetitive? Great content and would love to support more.

slide making GOAT damn

Small typo on the word enabling on second slide redo

Insightful
Please make more of these

Would appreciate a video on how to make the best slide possible when you have a constraint of using only 1 slide
That’s an extreme example, but basically, when you have limited amount of time to present or there is a constraint on the number of slides you mustn’t cross, what are the key things to look out for and be aware of?

An example video of the above question would be much appreciated 😊
