Me too! Seriously my cc told me that we (ACN) is all about the "deck". I see her point but she did not mention one word about clients or true value. Granted, I am just a level 9 consultant but ugh. At least in industry I provided more true assistance and less of the ppt.

PPT is a crutch for when people don't know what else to do

It doesn't get better. Just wait until your MD who you work with regularly and knows all your projects still asks you for a deck to describe yourself for performance achievement

@SM1 that is insane

I tried following up thrice after, no response.
