From Hypothesis to Final Deck: The Consultant's Secret Weapon

In management consulting, the “product” is the slide deck. But the value is the insight. Unfortunately, associates often spend the vast majority of their billable hours on the mechanics of slide production—formatting, aligning, checking footnotes—rather than on the intellectual work of problem-solving.

o11 is designed to flip this ratio. It allows consultants to operate at the speed of their thinking.

The AI-Powered Consulting Workflow

Phase 1: Rapid Storyboarding

Before you touch a slide, you have a hypothesis.

o11 Action: “I need to tell a story about cost reduction opportunities in the supply chain. Outline a 10-slide ghost deck structure.”

o11 provides a structured outline, suggesting titles and key takeaways for each slide based on typical consulting frameworks (SCQA, Pyramid Principle).

Phase 2: Analysis to Insight

You run the numbers in Excel. You found the savings.

o11 Action: “Take this sensitivity analysis table. Create a slide that visualizes the ‘Base Case’ vs ‘Optimistic Case’ impact on EBITDA. Include a ‘Key Takeaways’ box at the bottom.”

o11 builds the chart, formatted exactly to your firm’s visual identity (colors, fonts, axis labels).

Phase 3: The “Sanity Check”

Before the Partner review, the deck must be flawless.

o11 Action: “Scan the deck for inconsistencies. Are all titles aligned? Are all footnotes 10pt text? Are we using the British spelling of ‘optimise’?”

o11 acts as your automated proofreader, catching the visual errors that human eyes miss after a 14-hour shift.

Deliver Value, Not Just Slides

Clients pay for your brain, not your ability to align text boxes. o11 ensures that your output matches the quality of your thinking, delivered in record time.
