My Slide Library (Version 8)
Some years ago, when I was just starting my career as a consulting analyst, one of my mentors suggested that I begin a “best slides library” to keep track of particularly useful models or templates that I could re-use from one project to another.
While many larger organizations often provide their people with a database of approved slide templates, I have continued to find it useful to maintain my own library:
The current revision contains 85 useful slide templates covering the bread-and-butter of executive communication:
- Dividers
- Opening & Context-Setting
- Introduction to Team & Motivation
- Table of Contents
- Expectation-Setting
- Illustrating Sequences & Processes
- Illustrating Options
- Illustrating Products
- Simple Columns
- Simple Tables
- Lists with Graphical Exergue
- Other Structured Content
- Gantt-like Charts
- Tracking Progress & Timelines
- Waterfall Charts
- Illustrative Assessment & Scoring
- Concluding & Final Thoughts
- Highlighted Case Study
- Others
- Back Cover & Thank You
