What is the role of the Pyramid Principle in consulting?

The Pyramid Principle in consulting is a tool used to frame solutions in the form of a single thought. It was created by Barbara Minto and is known for its top-down thinking structure. This structure allows ideas to be shared across teams and organizations more clearly and enables consultants to more convincingly present their solutions. It is beneficial for both working consultants and those interviewing for consulting positions.

Question was asked on:

For a situation like Bridgespan's, Minto's Pyramid Principle is a tool consultants can use to frame their solutions in the form of a single thought. This framework was created by Barbara Minto, known for her creation of the most commonly used frameworks called MECE. Since consultants often use groupings to simplify problems, Minto developed the Pyramid Principle with a top-down thinking structure to share ideas across teams and organizations more clearly and enable consultants to more easily convince execs that their solutions are strong. This pyramid structure is helpful for both working consultants and those interviewing for consulting positions. (Slide 4)
