Executive summary and storyline slide templates for PowerPoint
The pages that carry the argument: a cover, an agenda, the executive summary, situation-complication-resolution, key takeaways and section dividers. Use them to set out the answer before the detail, the way a steering committee reads a deck. Each one arrives in your deck's own colors and fonts, with space for a full headline.
- Mac: all 13, in the Templates tab of the SlideShortcuts panel.
- Windows: all 13, under Insert > Templates on the SlideShortcuts tab.

Questions
What goes in an executive summary slide?
The answer first, then the three or four points that support it, each as a full sentence. A reader who stops after this slide should know what you recommend and why.
What is situation, complication, resolution?
A way to open a story: what's true today, what changed or went wrong, and what you propose. It keeps the first slides short and leads straight to the recommendation.
