About this design
Where the Oliver Wyman Style style comes from, and what it signals.
Oliver Wyman Style follows a slide structure that consultants describe for the firm: a headline that states the finding, the evidence in the middle, and a bumper statement at the bottom that tells you what to do about it. This is an unofficial homage built from public material, with no affiliation to Oliver Wyman or its parent, Marsh McLennan.
The colors come from the Marsh McLennan family the firm uses on its website: midnight #000f47, blue #002c77 and sky #009de0, with turquoise #00a8c8 for a second series and coral #ef4e45 kept for breaches. Oswald stands in for the group's condensed display face and sets titles, exhibit labels and big numbers. Noto Sans, the typeface on the firm's own site, carries the body text. The cover breaks triangles into a faceted shard, a device the firm's report designers built from the logo.
Pick it for decks that argue about risk and money: bank stress tests, capital plans, insurance and pricing work, and board risk committee papers. The fan chart shows three scenarios against a threshold on one exhibit, and the heat map shows where exposure concentrates across business lines.
Use it for
- Bank stress test and capital adequacy readouts for a board risk committee
- Scenario planning decks that compare base, upside and downside cases against a threshold
- Enterprise risk reviews built around a risk-by-business-line heat map
- Financial services strategy work for banks, insurers and asset managers
- Recommendation decks where every slide needs a one-line so-what
Skip it for
- Blue answer-first strategy decks where the McKinsey look is expected; McKinsey Style fits that register
- Investor fundraising or startup pitches; Midnight Pitch or Airbnb Pitch Deck tell a founder's story better
- Workshop or brainstorming decks; Whiteboard keeps things informal
The presentation design prompt
This is the exact text that gets sent to your AI.
Create a presentation in the 'Oliver Wyman Style' theme, an unofficial homage to the risk-and-strategy consulting deck. Background: white (#ffffff) on content slides; the cover and section slides are midnight blue (#000f47) edge to edge. Typography: 'Oswald' (Google Fonts) weight 500 for titles, exhibit labels and big numbers; 'Noto Sans' for all body text, table cells and chart labels at 13 to 16px in #202020. Every content slide opens with a full-sentence action title that states the finding, Oswald 500 at 26 to 30px in #000f47, sentence case, left-aligned, two lines maximum, with no rule under it. The signature device is the bumper: a full-width midnight #000f47 band, 46px tall, sitting just above the footer, holding one white Noto Sans 600 sentence at 14px that states the so-what, led by a small sky-blue (#009de0) right-pointing triangle. Cover: midnight background, a faceted shard of flat triangles in MMC blue #002c77, sky #009de0, turquoise #00a8c8 and #0a3a99 bleeding off the right edge, the answer as the title in white Oswald at 44 to 48px, a one-line subtitle in ice blue #ceecff, and 'Confidential. Draft for discussion.' bottom-right. Exhibits: label each one 'Exhibit N' in sky #009de0 Oswald 14px followed by the measure and unit in #707070. Signature exhibits: a scenario fan chart with history as a solid 3px midnight line, the base case solid sky, upside dashed turquoise, downside dashed #002c77, an ice-blue #ceecff band between upside and downside, the threshold as a dashed coral (#ef4e45) line with a direct label, and direct end labels with values; and a risk heat map with rows of risks and columns of business lines, cells filled on a four-step scale: Low #ceecff, Moderate #7cc8ec, High #002c77 with white text, Severe #ef4e45 with white text, a small legend beside it. Bar charts: horizontal, sorted, the bar that proves the title in sky #009de0 and all others gray #bcbcbc, values in Oswald at the bar ends. Coral #ef4e45 marks breaches and severe risk only; yellow #ffbe00 is for warnings in tables, at most once per slide. Roadmaps: one #dadada track with triangle markers, phases numbered only when sequential. Footer: 'Source:' line bottom-left in 10px #707070 on every data slide, client and committee name plus the page number bottom-right. Strictly avoid: the Oliver Wyman or Marsh McLennan logos and wordmarks, claiming affiliation with Oliver Wyman or Marsh McLennan, topic titles like 'Market overview', gradients, drop shadows, rounded corners, 3D charts, pie charts, legends where direct labels fit, rainbow palettes, coral used as decoration, more than one bumper per slide, centered body text, stock photos, decorative icons, and bullet lists nested more than one level. Use this theme for my slides. Ask me what the presentation is about first, then apply the theme to every slide.View this prompt and its data on GitHub
