From the perspective of management consultants, this course helps enterprises recognize the various contradictions and operating law in their development through introducing external management wisdom. Also, this course can guide enterprises to effectively identify and systematically solve various endogenous and exogenous problems encountered in their development so that the enterprises can take solutions of “prevention-warning-identification-treatment” at different stages.

A practical guide on how to create a killer presentation efficiently What you'll learn: Create a great presentation in the style of top consulting firmsExpress yourself with slidesPick the right slides to present your analysesCreate the flow in the story told via presentationUnderstand consulting presentationUnderstand the main challenges in preparing the management consulting presentation What is the aim of this course? In management consulting, you are delivering your advice, observations, and analyses using presentations. During some projects, you may be producing as many as 200-300 slides. Slide preparation is very time-consuming and you have to make sure that you structure your work properly to deliver according to promised deadlines. In this course, you will learn how to prepare a great presentation for your customer that will help you deliver your thoughts in a coherent manner and win him over. I will teach you how to prepare the presentation in the right order so you do not waste your time. You will also learn what type of slides you can consider and when you should use a specific type of slide. This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried out or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated a total of 2 billion in additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COOs, CROs, CEOs, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 224 000 students including people working in EY, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, and tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, and materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modifications, be applied by you or your team in your work. Why have I decided to create this course? Presentations are not something people learn in school or even at universities. For most people, it is difficult to read presentations and express themselves using slides. Many people, experience also in the beginning problems in proper structuring of the whole presentation. They cannot make it understandable for the customer and quite often the presentation lacks the flow. The biggest problem in consulting is that the presentation determines the analyses that you have to make. If your presentation draft is not well structured and thought-through you will not be efficient with interviews, data gathering, and analyses. Therefore, I found it critical to teach all my co-workers and employees how to express themselves. In this way, I made their work (not only related to presentation) much more efficient and also my life much easier :). Learn from this course and apply it also in your work In what way will you benefit from this course? The course is a practical, step-by-step guide loaded with tons of cases, tricks, and hints that will significantly improve the speed with which you work. You will learn how to prepare a great presentation both for internal as well as external purposes. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning. My intention is that thanks to the course you will know: How to structure the subject that the presentation is addressing? In what order you should approach the preparation of the presentation? How to prepare the sketch and the template of the presentation? What type of slides and when you can use them? You can also ask me any question either through the discussion mode or by messaging me directly. How the course is organized? The course is divided into the following sections: Introduction. We begin with a little intro into the course as well as some general info on the role of presentation in consulting and when you actually prepare presentations Creating the template. In the second section, how to go from a general idea (i.e. from an issue tree) to a sketch and how to transform the sketch into a template Filling in the slides. In the next section, I will talk about general rules concerning the filling in the slides, the flow that you achieve, and how different is the template vs the end-product Delivery of the presentation. In this section, we will talk briefly about the delivery of the presentation: how to do it and how different is the written presentation from the presentation that can be delivered to the audience. Types of charts you can use. In this section, I will go through many types of slides and will show you what you can use for a specific purpose Example of presentations.

Management consultants are paid well because they help executives to break down complex problems, make difficult decisions, and implement lasting change. Consultants know how to work smart and fast. Companies like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte, EY, PWC, KPMG, and Accenture have trained thousands of consultants on useful skills, tools, methodologies. Taught by an ex-consultant from Deloitte, John Kim will give you a quick introduction to management consulting: • What do management consultants do? • What are the benefits of a consulting career? • How can you learn these consulting skills? • Why do clients hire management consultants? • What is an example of a consulting skill? This is the first course in the specialization on management consulting.

How to be lazy and still get things done What you'll learn: Set prioritiesSelect the right things to concentrate onDo much faster tasksAvoid doing many things altogetherIncrease efficiency of your team10x your productivity What is the aim of this course? Management consultants are brutally efficient. They not only are taught to do their work fast but also are very good at selecting the right issues. I know it from first-hand experience as I spent my first 5 years in this hostile environment of top consulting companies. Yes, we worked sometimes 10-15 hours a day; 6-7 days a week but we managed with a small team to do in 3 months what the whole company was not able to do in years. Management consultants’ efficiency stems from 3 things: good organization, efficiency in daily activities, and extremely good skills in picking the right topics. I think that those skills are crucial and I will teach how to acquire them. In this course, I will show you how to do the right things fast and efficiently so you can enjoy fully your work and life (depending on what are your priorities ;) . This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried out or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated a total of 2 billion in additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 224 000 students including people working in EY, McKinsey, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, and tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, and materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modifications, be applied by you or your team in your work.I do not like to overcomplicate things so in every lecture I will be quite straightforward. In every lecture, I described a different hack and I gave examples of how to use it, especially in services such as consulting. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) many useful files: examples shown in the lecture, further suggestions, exercises, etc. If you don’t find something that you need let me know - I will try to prepare something and I will add it to the course In the course, I use 6 main frameworks: the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle), lean manufacturing, the theory of constraints, getting things done, the critical chain method, and lean startup.Why have I decided to create this course? The companies I have worked with so far as a Board Member (I am usually the Chief Restructuring Officer, and VP responsible for Strategy and Development) still have huge problems with productivity on 3 levels: personal efficiency of team members, the general efficiency of the whole team (you can have efficient people that create an inefficient team), selection of topics/tasks/projects. I have always tried to coach them and increase productivity but on-the-job training is not enough and it is always limited to people you have contact with. To go further and to have a bigger impact you need materials that you can refer people to when they are in need. Therefore, I decided to create this course. Since I work not only with mature companies but also with startups I have tested the material also on them. It proved very handy in making sure that the startups are improving their productivity. In what way will you benefit from this course? The course is a practical, step-by-step guide loaded with tons of, tricks, hints, and examples that will significantly improve your productivity and improve the quality of your choices. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning. Our intention is that thanks to the course you will know: How to set priorities on tasks and projects?How to select the right things to concentrate on, on daily basisHow to do much faster tasks and minimize the burden of boring tasks that everybody is faced with.How to avoid doing many things altogetherHow to increase team efficiencyYou can also ask me any question either through the discussion mode or by messaging me directly. I will produce the necessary content.How the course is organized? The course is divided into the following sections:Introduction. We begin with a little introduction to the course. How to do the right things. In the second section, we go through ways you can use to decide what to do and what NOT to do. I will show you how to avoid common mistakes.How to work faster. In the next 3 sections, I will show you how to do faster the tasks or avoid doing them altogether. These sections will have the most useful productivity hacks that you can apply to make sure that your personal productivity jumps significantly. Some of them, after modification, can be applied to the whole team. Team efficiency - general rules. In this section, I will show you how to apply the productivity hacks from the previous section to the team. I will also show productivity hacks for the boss.Other things worth checking. In the last section, I will share with you additional resources that will show you how to use productivity hacks to learn faster and manage your career. You will be able also to download many additional resources Examples in Excel, Word, PowerPointPresentation of slides shown in the courseLinks to additional presentations and moviesLinks to books worth readingAt the end of my course, students will be able to… Set priorities Select the right things to concentrate on Do much faster tasksAvoid doing many thingsaltogether Increase the efficiency of yourteam
