I really like how you break slides into archetypes. When I was at McKinsey with early tenure, my managers were always too busy to teach me these basics.

Indeed.. took me quite a while to understand these things as well. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Heinrich, the level of your content, the didactic you have doesn't improve just big 4 starter players, but also me working to big corps and better organizing my presentations and way of work. Trully thanks!

Great as usual. I also found it useful in building a top down story line of the deck with just the headline section of the presentation and then when I am finally good with it, go ahead and flesh out each action title in a cogent way.

Very informative and mind-blowing video. I am a graduate trying to learn all I can to become a better investment analyst and I absolutely loved the content of this video. Keep it up, mate! Quick suggestion: I think a series on behavioural best practices would be awesome (what to do in x situation, how to work more efficiently etc).

Very nice. I started an MBA and my first assignment was to produce a slide deck so I kept the table format in mind.

Fantastic sharing, I've swapped jobs recently where presentation of information is a large part of it. This and the top down communication video are really gems.

Heinrich, you are a rockstar consulting machine with impeccable timing! I'm working on a Saturday... building a presentation and thinking about how I'm going to present both qualitative and quantitative data on a slide. I took a lunch break, watched a little KZread while I ate, and now I know exactly what I need to do. I even downloaded a template for it. Is your timing always this good? Thanks, and great job with this channel. I've recommended it to many.

Thank you for the sharing. Your advice is always interesting. I’m an investor director in a leading investment company in Africa and I can confirm Thinkcell is an awesome tool. All the best

Heinrich, Your videos are fantastic. They helped me land my first position in consulting. I still watch your videos in order to hone my skills and improve in the workplace. I would love to see a video on the McKinsey Problem Solving Game. Keep up the great work, Gil

Thank you. It's useful as usual!

I am working on a deck at the moment and was considering how to reduce the number of slides. Then, boom! You showed the way. Thank you as always. I am looking forward to receiving your emails, too.

Hello, Heinrich! Congratulations on your job! I have a question and a suggestion for you: 1) As far as I could find, Think-Cell is only available for corporate users. Is there a version for personal use? 2) As a suggestion, you should consider some pricing adjustments for your courses for those people from countries where the currencies are weaker. It makes the prices really high for us. Thanks a lot for all the knowledge you share here. Regards from Brazil!

Thanks for the feedback (and supporting the channel) - appreciate it! The feedback on pricing is very valid - we have not found a good, simple solution to offer tiered pricing yet, but this is something we are looking into. Appreciate it! Best, Heinrich

@Heinrich: thank you for the insights. I subscribed and followed all instructions but never received an email allowing me to download the slide pro-formas. Can you please assist me?

How can you add a callout in think-cell? Is this still available? I can't find it.

Do you add the chart titles via Thinkcell or as a text box from PowerPoint? Looks amazing

Hi Michele, chart titles are standard PowerPoint text boxes, with a line element below the text box :) Best, Heinrich

Yes. Do that and all of your presentations will look like all of the presentations of all other people.

The theme and style are the one we got from McKinsey as the final report 😅

Good video; But confused about the notion of "every slide is a table"...yes, that's true. I'm in middle management at Google and most slides are tabulated, but this isnt applicable across every slide? Sometimes, a table isn't the best choice to convey information.

could you please share the side with me your videos are fantastic.

I noticed that all of your slides use a white background. I prefer a black background to make it easier on the eyes. Is there any reason why a black background would not be good?

👍👍👍👌👌👌

I misunderstood the Think-cell offer. I thought I'd be able to take advantage of it. Unfortunately for me, when I tried to sign up for it, the site stated that a corporate email address is required to initiate the download. That's disappointing since I consult independently. Still, the content of the video is highly valuable. Thanks, Heinrich!

Hi evans, it usually only blocks the big consumer domains (yahoo, gmail etc) you should be able to sign up with any other address including your business domain or your university domain. Best!

2:00 3 main types of slides: qualitative, quantitative, and integrated. 2:30 different type of info you want to convey. 2:50 error in slide writing: first bullet is general idea, second is example. and the third is conclusion. this is false!! 3:50 this is text-heavy, so maybe not for main deck, but for the appendix. 4:20 the additional column for roadmap/ timing. if this is of interest to you. 4:55 for the other layout ideas, especially in changing the column headers, you can use timeline, process chart. 5:30 basic layout archetypes can be leveraged and expanded on. 7:20 quantitative slides. 7:25 quantitative slide: now here is arguably the mother of all quantitative slide layout. 8:20 an example of following this methodology. this is very basic but with this, you would never get a feedback of looking unprofessional. 9:00 many times, you don't need the first column since the charts itself is self-explanatory. 9:40 integrated slide: this is arguably the most interesting style of slide presentation 11:00 an example of integrated slide. often it takes more cognitive energy from reader and not direct make sense. 11:30 second example of integrated slide. not too far away from the blueprint.

Are you Swiss or German?

Why did you stop working at mckinsy ?

McKinsey visualizations are hot garbage tho... Make it "pop"!

Annoying Ex-McKinsey announcements^^ Please stop repeating that you worked for McKinsey, please
