The course and learning material is good, Heinrich definitely knows what he's doing. The problem is rather that most of this material is already available for free on his channel on youtube, so there is little value added in deck. Sometimes his youtubbe goes further into details even, e.g. the draft of storyboard on paper, which is a great learning.
This is a shame, as I hoped he would go more into details, as design principles/ thinking of how to a slide (e.g. left-right thinking in addition to vertical).
Anyhow if you dont bother to watch all the different youtube videos, then this course does give a good compilation.

This course really is helpful in understanding the basics on developing slides in the management consulting field. Definitely an eye-opener to the tips, tricks and learnings that I have personally incorporated in my day-to-day slides making.

Course is great. Loved every bit of that. Learnt many new things.
It would be a lot better if he could have included a case study and how he would have approached it. The back end workflow on how he creates a final ppt. It would gift us a new perspective.
Overall, it was a great course. Worth it.
Thanks Heinrich

with so much experience its really sad - that you do not share some materials

By Daniyar Omurzakov on 11/8/2020

too wordy without examples

By Pranav Upmannu on 11/8/2020

the content is very average. very good for those who are just starting out their consulting career.

By Michael on 11/8/2020

It's a very good course. I'm confused about the "executive summary" part of the course. It's mentioned in the quiz and objective, but I dont think it was brought up during a video.
I thought the "verticle logic" part was interesting. It would be interesting to learn more. I'll maybe have a look at the pyramid principle to learn more.

By Stephen on 11/8/2020

Around 50% of the content was useful and the rest of it seemed like it was tailored towards university students who have never had a job before. Regardless of that, I believe everything inside the course was good content.
I would have liked the course to be more interactive. It could have been great if there were specific consulting problems to solve from your past career, and I'm not sure how feasible it is to remove all the names and change the numbers to address confidentiality issues... And then have you provide the solutions and story behind those solutions that you have done in the past to those problems for me to compare against
This is coming from someone who has been in corporate for 3 years now in less intensive client facing roles. Definitely wish I had this before I started my career and it could have helped in a lot of situations.

Excellent match!!! Great knowledge of content. Heinrich has demystified the complexity of presenting slides to executives and made look so simple.

By Choo Kiang Siang on 10/26/2020

Yes. I hope this would help me build up my presentation skills.

General speaking this is a good lecture, really helps me understand more about how to structure a presentation with high quality. But for the data visualization part, I actually expect more like how to choose a right chart for right topic to be covered. I think that's the key for data visualization. Unfortunately, I didn't see that.
