We read every comment so please let us know what you thought of the video!

@dannya1209 Год назад

Thoughts... Slide 1: Overall an upgrade, but then my eyes are drawn towards the uneven icons and descriptions. Slide 2: Nice. Slide 3: Amazing! Love that Index Chart! Never used one of those before! Makes sense to show drastic increases. - Fellow Analyst :)

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Great feedback!

@brx23692 Год назад

Paul, I subbed to this channel because of its informative and insightful videos. The comments section also deserves praise for its intelligent and perceptive discussions. I specifically like these videos where you take existing presentations, reimagine them, and then show why and how you did it. I find them the most helpful and engaging. I hope you and your team continue to produce these videos (I think you are the only channel on RU-vid that produces these kinds of videos).

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Really great feedback, thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos.

@sh0ot3r12 11 месяцев назад

I have always a dilemma whether I should focus on delivering only the insight that I found meaningful (so I'd limit the data on the chart, e.g. show only the indexed values instead of absolute numbers, focus on the major categories etc.) or should I stimulate the stakeholders to think as well and show them more data than necessary and by doing this let them spot other interesting points which I could not notice.

I love these videos. I work in a small consulting firm as head of data and analytics and always recommend this channel to new team members. they are usually great at analyzing but have a lot to learn at how to present their findings and these videos are always an entertaining way to put some new ideas in their heads.

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Love hearing that! Let me know if there’s a specific type you’d like to see.

@juanmanuelpena5319 Год назад

Excellent!! Thank you for showing how index charts are made.

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

You're welcome! They can be really useful, and they're not that hard to make.

@Esbbbb Год назад

This is so good and insightful! I have your cheat sheet on charts and I'm currently preparing a report on a research project, and I'm challenging my senior group expert on his opinion about the chart choices and he agrees often with me that what you would recommend is actually a better way. It's great that my colleague has an open mind to change his opinion when I explain the reasoning behind what chart and what elements I choose.

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Changing the world one chart at a time... great work!

@HarisRaza-yn6qm Год назад

Insightful Please make more of these Would appreciate a video on how to make the best slide possible when you have a constraint of using only 1 slide That’s an extreme example, but basically, when you have limited amount of time to present or there is a constraint on the number of slides you mustn’t cross, what are the key things to look out for and be aware of? An example video of the above question would be much appreciated 😊

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Great idea! Thanks for the suggestion

@MegaTranquilla 2 дня назад

Imagine working until 2 AM while your manager is yelling at you only to have your slide roasted on youtube

@adrianobleton Год назад

This is a great rework! One thing to note on the color choices for the first slide, we have a progressive color pallet we are expected to use. I think that's why they had the grey to blue in the original. Not necessarily an active choice of those colors

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Definitely makes sense. Thanks for the extra insight!

@sauravghosh8713 11 месяцев назад

Great video!! For the first example, I’d use a dumbbell plot and show the change to the right of the plot for each category.

@tombyrd69 Год назад

As someone who frequently creates PowerPoint presentations, I found this video incredibly helpful. Before hearing your insights, I had my own ideas and was curious to see if they'd match up with yours. Turns out, they mostly did, which is really reassuring since I've gained so much from your content.

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Nice! Really happy to hear that.

I just discovered your channel and I LOVE IT!!. I've taken a few courses on data viz and this is helping me take it to another level. Looking into Ampler Charts but was wondering why you use it in PowerPoint vs Excel?

@AnalystAcademy 4 месяца назад

Glad it was helpful! If the chart will eventually be copied to PPT, it’s best to create it there from the beginning. Otherwise, Excel works great.

@omeadmusa6791 Год назад

Building slides right now and applying the things in this video directly! The effect is immediate and very much positive :)

@kkobejohnsonj Год назад

I would appreciate a video (either here or on the website) or a comment back that clearly explains the differences in the 3 courses. If all three are purchased, is there unique value being obtained from each or is the information largely repetitive? Great content and would love to support more.

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

That's a great idea for the website, thank you. The short answer is that there's actually minimal overlap between each of the courses, and they actually complement each other really nicely. The PowerPoint course focuses on PowerPoint as a tool (i.e. how to use it most effectively), but doesn't cover design or slide structure at all. The Presentations course is about what makes a presentation effective and how to design good slides, but doesn't really cover charts and visualizations (only briefly). Then the Data Visualization course is about telling stories with your data - how to choose the right chart for your message, and how to design that chart for maximum effectiveness. Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you have more specific questions.

@Blashmack Год назад

I've read some Bain workshop decks at work, and noticed they use this one graphic/visual feature in their presentations: Red underlines, dashes, or circles, around impact items which are deliberately made to look like they've been made by hand with a marker. The rest of the slide looks MBB-polished (almost sterilized) clean but the red dashes stick out, in a good way. It somehow brings the presentation "down to earth" and reminds you of ad-hoc brainstorming sessions on a whiteboard or notes on a notepad. Have you noticed these and what do you think?

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Yes! I haven’t always noticed the “made by hand” look, but I definitely think they add red accents to their slides in a way that’s very effective.

@apmbus Год назад

What is the difference btn Dashboard and report interms of visualizations? Are the way charts are shown in Dashboard different from a report, say monthly HR Report?

Is ampler available for mac? If not, do you have any alternative that is available for mac? Thanks!

@ahall3649 Год назад

Nice move with the index chart - that’s was really good. Ampler appears to have a similar structure as think-cell. Is Ampler easier to use?

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Thank you! It comes down to personal preference, but I prefer Ampler. In my experience it tends to be cheaper as well.

@qutaibabs1 Год назад

Those are only for consulting ? Can we have different types

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

Not just for consulting, but it’s a type of slide common to consulting firms.

@nielsendc1 Год назад

This is not a criticism, just an honest question - when/where do you see a place for aesthetics in a slide? Not that your slides aren’t clean and beutiful in their simplicity, but it feels like you tend toward simplicity whenever possible, and I just wonder if there’s potentially a tradeoff in audience engagement if the slide isn’t as “pretty”? To be fair my perspective is a little different as my presentstions are to “lay people” on financial concepts like planning for retirement. If I simplified all of my charts in a similar fashion I can’t help but feel like they’d just feel stodgy and disengaging.

@AnalystAcademy Год назад

It all depends on the audience. For a business audience (especially executives) I would tend towards a more to-the-point (i.e. less aesthetic) approach. For an audience like yours, something more visually exciting is entirely appropriate. But I also think you can have something nicely designed that also communicates information effectively. In my experience people stay most engaged when they can follow along, so as long as your design doesn't prevent people from understanding what you're trying to say, you should be good.

@nielsendc1 Год назад
