If you're working with a McKinsey boss to prepare a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation - known in consulting as a "deck" - you might be asked to work on a storyline and prepare a "Dot-Dash" version of that storyline. In this post, I'll explain what those terms means and why they're important...What is a storyline?
The storyline refers to the journey on which the deck takes the audience. It should take the audience from Point A (their current mindset) to Point B (your desired outcome).Think of the storyline as the roadmap for a journey and the PowerPoint deck as the vehicle for taking your audience to your desired destination. Each element of the deck - every page, every exhibit, and each word - should take your audience one step closer to your desired end-state.
What is a "dot-dash" storyline?
"Dot-dash" refers to the bullet-point, outline format, where a) main, top-level ideas that drive the storyline are designated with round, dot-shaped bullets and b) 2nd-level, supporting ideas, facts, and exhibits are indented and designated with dashes. These dots and dashes provide the structure around which the PowerPoint deck should be built.Why are these concepts important?
The dot-dash approach allows you to lay out the entire storyline without investing the time to create PPT pages and exhibits. If changes need to be made to the storyline, you can find out before you waste a lot of time and effort.Think about how long it would take you (and your team) to put together a PowerPoint deck - even a basic, "ghost" deck - to review with key stakeholders, only to receive feedback that the storyline is wrong, some of the pages are off point, and/or you're missing critical content. Not only do you have much rework ahead of you, but you've already lost a lot of time and effort that has now been wasted.
Now consider the same scenario but instead of a deck, you just reviewed a dot-dash storyline outline. You still might have a lot of work ahead of you, but you've learned some valuable lessons about the deck for minimal cost.
For this approach to be effective, it is critical that you develop it and get early feedback from key stakeholders so you give yourself time to course-correct and minimize wasted effort.
If you lack inspiration, you can always check a professional career objective essay which elaborate every point you have mentioned in the outline and stick to it.

An amazing testimony on on how i conceive, also cure from fibroid, i wonder why people still don't believe that roots and herbs are very essential and fruitful in different aspect, especially when you can't conceive and bear children. I am a living witness because I tried all I could to be pregnant but all to no avail, on this faithful day, i decided to check the net for updates on healthy living and i came across testimonies of lot of women who Priest Babaka has helped with his native herbs to conceive. i decided to put a try because this has been my greatest problem in life so I emailed Priest Babaka, and he told me what to do which i did, after which he sent me some roots and herbs syrup and gave me step by step guild lines on how and when to have sex with my man. I missed my menstrual flow within a short period of taking it, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I am very glad to tell the world that I just put to bed a bouncing baby boy last week.
