1. Your Topic / Chapter

2. Target Audience / Exam Level

3. Specific Output Focus

Design an authoritative Top-Tier Management Consulting Slide Deck (McKinsey / BCG style) on [TOPIC] for a [LEVEL], enforcing [FOCUS].

Follow the Minto Pyramid Principle and these 4 Consulting Layout Standards on every slide:

1. FULL-SENTENCE ACTION TITLES (Top Banner):
Never use generic topic labels like 'Market Overview' or 'Financial Results'. Every slide headline must be a complete, data-backed conclusion (e.g., 'Automating tier-1 support reduces operating costs by 28% within 6 months').

2. MECE 3-COLUMN BODY STRUCTURE:
Divide the central canvas into 3 Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive (MECE) vertical pillars or a Left-Chart / Right-Drivers split. Back every claim with specific numbers, percentages, or citations from the uploaded source.

3. VISUAL STYLE & COLOR HIERARCHY:
Use a crisp executive palette: Navy Blue (#0A2540), Cool Gray (#F1F5F9) callout boxes, and a single high-contrast accent color for the key data driver.

4. BOTTOM 'SO-WHAT' TRACKER:
Place a full-width horizontal takeaway bar at the bottom of every slide summarizing the immediate business decision or ROI impact in one bold sentence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a McKinsey-style slide different from a standard AI slide?

Standard AI slides use vague titles and bullet points. Consulting slides put the conclusion in the top Action Title, divide evidence into 3 MECE columns, and anchor the slide with a bottom 'So-What' decision bar.

Does this work for MBA case competitions?

Yes, MBA students use this exact prompt to turn 20-page Harvard Business School case PDFs into structured 10-slide competition decks.

Should I upload raw data tables along with my report?

Yes. The more specific numbers and percentages in your source PDFs, the stronger the quantitative Action Titles NotebookLM will generate.
