1. Overall structure:

Title page (client/project context).

Executive summary (3–5 key takeaways, action-oriented).

Situation analysis (context, data, and insights).

Key findings (use MECE structure: Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive).

Recommendations (clear, prioritized, action-led).

Implementation roadmap (phases, timeline, responsibilities).

Risks & mitigations.

Appendix (supporting detail, charts, data tables).

2. Slide design principles:

Each slide has one clear message in the title (action-oriented, ‘so-what’ statement).

Use the pyramid principle (top-down storytelling: answer first, then supporting evidence).

Keep text minimal, favor charts, diagrams, and visuals.

Apply MECE logic to group insights.

Recommendations must be specific, actionable, and prioritized.

3. Tone & Style:

Professional, concise, fact-based.

Focus on clarity and impact.

Avoid jargon unless essential.

Make it CEO-ready: every slide should be understandable in under 10 seconds.

If people found out you commissioned the painting that you later told everyone at the party that you painted yourself, and that it is practically your work of art, because you gave the precise description of what you wanted to the painter, and thus you’re an artist.
