Ultra-fast Business Presentations in PowerPoint with AI

All important business decisions are driven by professional presentations – even in the age of AI, digital tools and modern collaboration platforms. Whether in Board Meetings, Executive Committees, Workshops or Pitches: If you can deliver compelling presentations, you boost your impact and visibility in your company.Yet most professionals spend far too much time on creating slides, struggle to structure and communicate their ideas in a convincing story, and fail to leverage the full potential of modern AI tools. Simply asking AI to create a presentation or content elements rarely delivers professional results.Drawing on 10+ years of strategy consulting and hundreds of executive-level presentations, this course teaches a practical and proven workflow my team and I use every day for creating high-quality business presentations with maximum speed. The end-to-end workflow is built on three powerful building blocks:AI Tools – Leverage AI to its full potential throughout the entire presentation creation process including content definition, storyline development, slide creation and presentation refinementSmart Storytelling – Build convincing storylines combining Pyramid, MECE and other executive communication principles with effective storyline patternsDesign Shortcuts – Create professional consulting-style slides using proven design principles, smart layouts, base templates and powerful PowerPoint productivity toolsThe result: Better business presentations in a fraction of the time.How this course is buildThis course is designed as a two-track training:Core Track (~6 hours) – The complete AI-enhanced workflow to build professional presentations ultra-fast (hands-on and immediately applicable)Practical Add-ons (~6 hours) – A realistic business case study applying the complete workflow from initial objectives to a complete deck, plus deep dives into the 15 most important slide types with live-building and multiple examples.What you will learn in the Core TrackThe Core Track follows a complete AI-enhanced workflow for creating ultra-fast business presentations:1.
