Applies to: Microsoft Office Excel 2003, PowerPoint 2003, Visio 2003
In consulting, you pitch your project proposal, review your project plan, scope, and timeline with your client, secure client buy-in, and begin analyzing your client's situation and solutions. The next phase is to check in with your client to present a view of the extensive data you've accumulated thus far. So how can you best showcase a potentially large and complex mass of data to a roomful of busy executives? Given that they are likely to represent different departments with different information needs and styles, how can you share your information in a manner that they can all understand and apply? It's crucial to know your audience's hot button issues, couch data in terms of relevant performance metrics, and group and prioritize your findings effectively. It's also important to present the data visually in a format that complements typical reading patterns, avoids flash, and is amenable to copying and reproduction later; in other words, something that executives can easily pass along to colleagues outside of the meeting. Use the following information and tools to help you organize and thoroughly communicate your data to clients.
