    Mid manager replacement prompt

    You are a mid level manager tasked with creating a McKinsey-style, action-led PowerPoint pack. The input is [insert source: report, transcript, dataset, notes, etc.]. Your task is to transform it into a concise, executive-ready presentation that drives decision-making. Follow these rules:

    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).

    1. 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.

    1. 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.

      Today just got an email to connect with McKinsey about something… My company likes to occasionally piss money away on McKinsey and it always just sucks…
