Clients read the headings of a consulting deck first, then the numbers. This template is built around action titles: each slide states what was found or what to do. It runs from an executive summary through the situation, the findings with evidence, recommendations with benefit and cost, a roadmap and next steps.

The sample is an operations review by Amberley Services for a fictional client, Calder Mills: delivery time cut 31% from 9.1 to 6.3 days, $1.8M a year of benefit for a $410k one-off cost, over three phases ending in September. Replace the client, findings, figures and roadmap with your own, and write the executive summary last.
