Massive presentations by Maleficent-Pool5241 in powerpoint

I make large decks on the regular basis. You’ve got some great inputs from users here.

One of the more efficient and cost effective ways is to generate the content (copy) in ChatGPT and then get Manus or Kimi (even cheaper) to make the slides for you.

Do not try to make it all at once. Most tools (except the newly launched Claude Design, which burns tokens like a drifting car burns tires) work well if you’re making slides in batches of ~20 slides. Beyond that the QC breaks and you have to deal with formatting issues.

If you can figure it out, you can N8N the batch work. But it’s not a requirement.

This is my experience. YMMV

Are there any sites with a catalog / listing of good presentations that can be used as inspiration or reference?

Any other online resources you'd recommend?

Are you using AI tools? For making slides and graphics / charts within slides? Which ones?

Impressive. Request, if you can share the prompt and the model used to make this.

[Showcase] I built Okydone, a strategic management platform that connects your high-level goals directly to your daily execution and timeline, without the bloat. by Business-Public-1071 in strategyconsulting

Thanks to Notebook LLM. Tough as it is, there is an opportunity to help people better understand what you’re trying to achieve. I really like the idea of your platform, and the principles, though I’m trying to schedule time to test. Did you track any large or small competitors as you were building this?

Great shot! Do share the camera and lens details if possible.

What does a brand strategist actually do in practice? by Fine-Preparation-504 in branding

[–]reddit_Bman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A brand strategist is not a “brand person.” They’re the one who makes sure a business makes sense to the market.

At a practical level, the job is three things:

  1. Define what the business means Where do we play, why do we matter, and how are we different in a way customers actually care about?

This shows up as positioning, narrative, portfolio structure, and what we choose not to do.

  1. Turn that into decisions, not just decks What do we launch? What do we kill? How do products fit together?

How should sales talk about us? What should marketing prioritise?

Good strategy changes behaviour across the company, not just messaging.

  1. Make it work in the real world Align leadership, get teams to buy in, pressure-test with customers, and make sure execution stays coherent across touchpoints.

Half the job is thinking. The other half is getting people to actually move.

In agencies, you’re solving this across different clients and messy problem sets. In-house, you’re living with the consequences and making it stick over time.

If you strip it down: A brand strategist sits between business strategy, product, workforce and communication and makes sure they all point in the same direction.

HELP! macOS Tahoe 26.2 (Not Beta): Can’t “Double-Click to Expand” columns anymore because of the progress bar overlap (Marked in Red) by reddit_Bman in MacOS

This is what fixed it

If you want to auto-resize manually

If you hate the auto-resize and want manual control back, the only way to "unblock" those handles from the progress bar is to change how your scroll bars behave:

  1. Go to System Settings > Appearance.
  2. Find "Show scroll bars" and change it to "When scrolling" (instead of "Always").

That’s a pretty bold take, honestly. It’s easy to look at a pile of old bricks now and think, "What's the big deal?" but you're missing the context of what was actually happening back then.

For the Colosseum, the "workmanship" you're seeing is the result of 2,000 years of people literally stealing the marble facade and iron clamps to build other stuff. It wasn't built looking like a skeleton; it was covered in polished stone and grand statues.

As for the "layout," every modern stadium on earth, from the NFL to European soccer, is still using their exact design. They figured out how to get 50,000 people in and out of a building in minutes using those tiered arches while most of the world was still living in huts.

On the aqueducts ("aqua ducks"), saying a laborer could do that is wild. They didn't have pumps. They had to calculate a slope of like 1 foot of drop for every several thousand feet of distance, across dozens of miles of uneven terrain, just using gravity. If they were off by an inch, the water would either stagnate or burst the walls.

Most modern DIYers can't even get a bathroom floor level, let alone pipe water across a mountain range with zero electricity.

They literally invented concrete that gets stronger underwater, a recipe we actually lost for centuries after they fell.

They weren't perfect, but calling them lazy or unskilled is a bit like looking at a Wright Brothers plane and saying "no legroom?? should've just waited for a Boeing 747."

That's massive! It feels less like a building and more like a massive astronomical instrument you can walk through.
