The Consultant's Secret Weapon: High-Stakes Deliverables with o11
Management consultants are the ultimate “PowerPoint Warriors.” But even for them, the mechanical aspects of building slides represent a significant percentage of their billable hours.
As firms look to increase “Leverage”—the ratio of output to hours—o11 has become the secret weapon for the modern Engagement Manager.
Driving Leverage in the Engagement
1. Rapid Hypothesis Testing
Consultants iterate constantly. With o11, you can take a new set of survey data or market research and generate five different slide versions of the “Answer” in minutes to see which narrative lands best.
2. Standardizing the “Firm Look”
McKinsey, BCG, and Bain have legendary, strict slide standards. o11 can be trained on a firm’s specific “visual grammar,” ensuring that every associate, regardless of their design skill, produces slides that look like they were made by a 10-year veteran.
3. Cleaning the “Frankendeck”
Client engagements often involve merging slides from different teams. o11’s One-Click Standardize feature can take a mess of different fonts, colors, and alignments and snap them into your firm’s master style in seconds.
Better Slides, Better Insights
By automating the “boxes and arrows,” consultants can spend more time on what they were hired for: solving the client’s most difficult problems.
