Overview

The consulting strategy steering deck turns diagnostic findings into a compelling transformation plan. It gives consultants, strategy leaders, and PMOs a repeatable way to explain what was learned, what the future should look like, and how to get there with confidence.

When to use this deck

  • You have completed discovery or assessment work and are ready to share recommendations.
  • Leadership needs a structured conversation about trade-offs, timelines, and investment required.
  • Multiple workstreams must stay aligned under a single transformation narrative.

What’s inside the template

  • Situation summary, objectives, and insight slides that synthesize qualitative and quantitative findings.
  • Future-state vision and design pillars with room for experience maps, operating model diagrams, or service blueprints.
  • Prioritized initiative roadmap with dependency timelines, resource demands, and change management checkpoints.
  • Value realization forecast covering financial, operational, and customer metrics.
  • Risk mitigation, governance, and measurement approach slides to demonstrate execution rigor.

Data & research to prepare

  • Synthesis of interviews, surveys, and analytics used during the assessment.
  • Financial and operational baselines to support the ROI storyline.
  • Resource availability, technology constraints, and change impact notes.

Customization tips

  • Use ML Clever’s diagram components to visualize org design, process flows, or capability heat maps without rebuilding from scratch.
  • Connect roadmap dates to your project management source of truth so updates roll in automatically.
  • Add video callouts from practice leaders or clients to reinforce credibility in the recommendation section.
