The VP Who Found Half a Million
It wasn't in a budget review. It wasn't in a vendor contract. It was hiding in plain sight-in the hours your teams spend building slides.
The Story You Could Tell
Your next performance review. Your next executive presentation. Your next promotion conversation.
"I asked a simple question..."
How much time does my organization actually spend on presentation work? I did the math: 10 PMs, 2 Directors, support staff. The number shocked me.
"I put a dollar figure on it..."
Applied loaded labor costs to each role. PMs at $75/hr, Directors at $100/hr, support at $75/hr. The total was undeniable.
"I found a tool that does it in 60 seconds..."
SlideStrike takes raw project data and generates presentation-ready slides automatically. I piloted it with one Director's team. The results were immediate.
"I presented the results to the CEO..."
Full rollout complete. Team morale measurably up. Zero late-night slide work. The CEO asked me to present my approach to the other VPs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this success story
QIs this success story realistic for my organization?
Yes. The $463K hidden cost calculation is based on conservative industry benchmarks: 10 PMs x 4 hrs/week + 2 Directors x 5 hrs/week + VP/EA support. Most VPs find their actual costs are higher once they track all time spent on presentations, revisions, and consolidation.
QHow quickly can I present these results to leadership?
You can present the ROI analysis to your CEO within days of implementation. Track your team's time spent on one presentation cycle manually, then compare to SlideStrike's 60-second generation time. The before/after difference makes an immediate, data-driven case.
QWhat if my CEO asks about risks or implementation challenges?
SlideStrike integrates with your existing data sources and workflows. There's no new data entry, no IT implementation project, and no training required. Teams start generating presentations on day one. The only "risk" is that you'll wish you'd implemented it sooner.
QHow do I calculate the specific numbers for my organization?
Count your PMs, Directors, and support staff who touch presentations. Track their weekly hours on slide work. Multiply by 52 weeks and apply your loaded labor rates. We provide a calculator template that makes this analysis take about 15 minutes.
QCan I really take credit for finding this cost savings?
Absolutely. Identifying hidden operational costs and implementing solutions is exactly what VP-level leadership is about. This is the kind of strategic initiative that demonstrates executive thinking and gets noticed in performance reviews.
