Generate McKinsey-style consulting charts as native python-pptx objects (editable inside PowerPoint). Three workhorse types — bar+callout for TAM/single-number stories, stacked column over time for revenue/usage mix, and waterfall for drivers/bridge analysis. Use when you need a chart that looks like it came from an EM-reviewed deck, not from Excel defaults.

McKinsey Charts

Drop-in chart builders for python-pptx. Charts are inserted as native PowerPoint chart objects — your audience can edit the data, change the colors, copy the chart to their own deck. No images, no screenshots.

The Three Charts

TypeWhen to useExample
bar_calloutOne number is the story. TAM, market size, headcount, anything where you want to anchor on a single highlighted bar with a big callout."RTD coffee TAM will hit $42.5B by 2028"
stacked_bar_over_timeComposition over time. Revenue by segment, usage by feature, headcount by function. Shows both total growth and mix shift."Revenue grew 3x, but enterprise segment grew 7x"
waterfallBridging two numbers. Revenue walk, cost walk, headcount changes, any "start → adds → subtracts → end" story."FY24 → FY25 revenue bridge: $80M → $112M"

Design choices (intentional, not configurable)

  • Title is a claim, not a label. "RTD market will hit $42.5B by 2028" beats "Market Size."
  • One highlight color, everything else grey. McKinsey decks don't rainbow. The chart points at one thing.
  • No gridlines, no chart border, no legend unless multi-series. Less ink → more signal.
  • Source line at the bottom in light grey italic. Always include it.
  • Single font (Inter) at consistent sizes. Title 20pt, axis 10pt, source 9pt.

How to use

python
from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches
from charts import add_bar_callout, add_stacked_bar_over_time, add_waterfall, new_deck
prs = new_deck()  # 16:9 with title slide layout
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[6])  # blank
add_bar_callout(
    slide,
    title="RTD coffee TAM will hit $42.5B by 2028",
    categories=["2023", "2024", "2025", "2026", "2027", "2028"],
    values=[28.1, 30.8, 33.6, 36.5, 39.4, 42.5],
    highlight_index=5,        # which bar to highlight (last one here)
    callout="$42.5B\n2028 TAM",
    y_label="USD, billions",
    source="Euromonitor 2025; Mintel; team analysis",
)
prs.save("output.pptx")

Same pattern for the other two:

python
add_stacked_bar_over_time(
    slide,
    title="Enterprise segment now drives 62% of revenue, up from 18% in 2021",
    categories=["2021", "2022", "2023", "2024", "2025"],
    series=[
        ("SMB",        [12, 14, 15, 16, 18]),
        ("Mid-market", [8,  12, 16, 22, 28]),
        ("Enterprise", [4,  10, 22, 38, 74]),
    ],
    highlight_series="Enterprise",
    y_label="Revenue, $M",
    source="Internal financials; FY21–FY25",
)
add_waterfall(
    slide,
    title="FY24 → FY25 revenue bridge: $80M → $112M, with new logos doing the heavy lifting",
    labels=["FY24",  "New logos", "Expansion", "Churn",  "Price",  "FY25"],
    values=[80.0,    24.0,        12.0,        -8.0,     4.0,      112.0],
    kinds=["start",  "pos",       "pos",       "neg",    "pos",    "total"],
    y_label="Revenue, $M",
    source="Internal financials; FY24–FY25",
)

Test it

python3 test_charts.py
open test_output.pptx

The test script generates one slide per chart type with realistic sample data. Open it in PowerPoint or Keynote and right-click any chart → "Edit Data" to confirm it's a native chart, not an image.

When NOT to use this skill

  • You need a distribution (use a histogram or box plot — not a McKinsey staple).
  • You need a scatter / quadrant (the 2x2 / portfolio map is a different skill).
  • You're showing >5 series stacked (split into small multiples instead — one chart can't carry that load).
