Overview

The consulting executive summary deck condenses program data, insights, and requests into a narrative sponsors can absorb in minutes. Whether you are preparing for a standing steering committee or recapping a sprint, the template ensures headlines, value, and support needs are crystal clear.

When to use this deck

  • Executive sponsors or stakeholders have limited time and need the story upfront.
  • Data lives across multiple tools and you need a single source of truth for the progress conversation.
  • Engagement teams want a consistent format for weekly, monthly, or quarterly business reviews.

What’s inside the template

  • Opening headline slide that highlights wins, quantified impact, and client quotes.
  • KPI scorecards with trend arrows, thresholds, and narrative space for insights.
  • Risk and issue heat map to escalate blockers before they slow down delivery.
  • Roadmap and next-step slides to align on coming milestones, decision points, and resource needs.
  • Appendix for deeper analysis, backlog visibility, or change requests.

Data to assemble

  • Live KPI exports from your analytics platform or ML Clever dashboards.
  • Updated risk, issue, and action logs with owners and next review dates.
  • Milestone tracker with dependencies and cross-functional handoffs.

Customization tips

  • Swap the KPI layout between table, heat map, and timeline views depending on audience preferences.
  • Embed short video walkthroughs or Loom recaps in appendix slides for async review.
  • Pair the decision tracker slide with ML Clever’s task automations so owners get instant follow-up.
