I feel that the increase of productivity goes more into

- developing homemade customs shortcut (we have it a lot here and do quite a bunch of slides)
- outsourcing in visual graphics centers
- training the consultants towards effective communication with less slides and more insights

This is what I have seen at Mck and what my friends in other consultancy seem to be doing maybe there are other interesting levers to explore.

Interested to know more

My client decided to switch from PPT to Prezi for delivering enterprise wide presentations to be more engaging 12 months into a 2.5 year project. I was lucky enough to be the guinea pig for learning prezi and I felt it was a steep learning curve (circa 2017 so maybe better now?) for those that are experts in PowerPoint. Learning the new tool took time but the end product was better for quality communications.

However, my client and team became even more “pls fix” trigger happy because no one knew how to make a simple edit in prezi or even find the correct deck to edit in the shared enterprise prezi licensed account. I became way less productive as one of a few with the ability to use prezi. Also took longer for review because client would get excited about new fancy features in prezi and request to see the slide in 7 diff formats solely out of curiosity about the new tool. Eventually we saw some quicker comma development by standardizing templates to reuse when client grew tired of treating each prezi like an interactive choose your own adventure book.

Not sure this is what you had in mind referencing productivity but wanted to share my experience

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
