Today's agenda is centered around my presentation to our staff the "cap deck" we recently finished. Consulting companies are often asked to come to potential clients and present on their capabilities. Thus, the cap (capabilities) deck is a critical tool. It needs to do more that share what you can do (which, in research/science fields, is quite critical), it's how you present it. The quality of the slide deck is important, but so it what you say and what you emphasize. Given the combination of having recently and thoroughly overhauled the capabilities deck, most of my staff have limited experience on the business development tasks. Our head of business development, who has 30 years of such experience, is new to P3. Therefore, I am working to help everyone how best to present our capabilities to our clients and potential clients. I intentionally dressed in a more relaxed manner (for me) so as to soften the "boss's" presence and engender conversation and questions. Here's what I have: • Shirt — DS-046 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A CT slim-fit Non-Iron Twill dress shirt featuring a bold mid-blue and white large check pattern with navy accents. The 2-ply cotton twill has medium-to-high opacity and soft hand, with 2-linear cuff buttons on a barrel cuff and a classic point collar. Tuesday Rules pick at 0% cost reduction—never worn before. (I used the Tuesday rules of minimal use for 1+ item since I could not yse them on Tuesday). • Undershirt — US-003 (Pro Club): A heavy-weight white cotton crew neck undershirt that provides solid coverage under the check pattern. XL sizing with medium-to-heavy drape ensures no show-through on this medium-opacity dress shirt. • Vest — VWC-008 (Hisdern): A striking light maroon (red) windowpane business vest in wool blend with green and mustard brown accent checks. Single-breasted with 5 red buttons, silver two-sided rear buckle, and slot hip pockets and a chest pocket. Roomy but elegant fit—adds a colorful statement layer.
