Execs won't read it until someone turns it into a 100-slide powerpoint and emails it to them.

- hammyhavoc 4y agoI hate how correct this is. LOL
- yamtaddle 4y agoI've been told by multiple McKinsey people that execs won't read a god-damn thing unless it's, specifically, in a powerpoint deck. Typically never intended to be presented, even, often just these hideous walls of text copy-pasted into the deck then emailed around, often with tons and tons of slides. They made it clear they weren't joking, nor exaggerating. I have no idea how things got this way, nor why. Must be some kind of filter?
- roncesvalles 4y agoTo be fair, I've (tried to) read some articles that McKinsey puts out and it's just thousands upon thousands of words of rambling. Forcing things onto a PPT forces clarity due to the form factor, not unlike a twitter thread.
