I'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?
