What is the Pyramid Principle? In the 1970s, when Harvard MBA graduate Barbara Minto was the first woman consultant at McKinsey, she developed a revolutionary presentation skills training technique called the Pyramid Principle. By starting with the conclusion, her approach inverted presentations. The intent was to provide McKinsey’s consultants with a decisive edge – to structure reports that immediately impacted clients within a logical framework. Today, it’s still widely recognized as the gold standard for building effective presentations.
