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
