Consulting decks
Consulting chart examples for Google Slides
Consulting charts work best when they make a recommendation easier to understand. The format should follow the argument, not the spreadsheet.
Quick answer
Use bar charts for comparisons, waterfall charts for bridges, stacked bars for mix, line charts for trends, and annotated charts for key events. Keep each chart tied to one slide message.
Example library
Most consulting decks reuse a small set of chart patterns
A market entry deck, pricing deck, operating review, and cost program may look different, but the chart logic often repeats. Teams compare options, explain change, show trend, and isolate drivers.
Once those patterns are clear, teams can build faster and keep the deck more consistent. The point is not to make every chart look identical. The point is to use familiar structures for familiar questions.
Examples
Three consulting chart examples to reuse
Market mix
Use a stacked or 100% stacked bar to compare customer, region, product, or channel mix.
Profit bridge
Use a waterfall to explain how price, volume, mix, and cost drivers move profit.
Performance trend
Use a line chart to show improvement, slowdown, or divergence from plan over time.
