Why this prompt works

  • Factors are shown as connected

    Five connected circles show that the factors depend on each other. Weak coordination can undo strong leadership, which a bullet list would not show.

  • Only two get the red

    The prompt highlights the two highest-risk factors in burgundy. Limiting the emphasis forces a judgment about where the program is most exposed.

  • Each factor needs evidence

    Evidence sits under every factor, so a high-risk rating is tied to something observed, such as survey results or missed milestones.

  • Risks end with owners

    A right-hand panel lists owners and next actions. The diagnostic doubles as a short work plan for the steering committee.

Adapt it to your own deck

  • Score from your own diagnostic

    Attach change readiness survey results or interview notes and add "Rate each factor from 1 to 5 using the attached evidence and show the score in each circle."

  • Change what gets highlighted

    If three factors are at risk, say so: "Highlight every factor scoring 2 or below." A fixed count of two can hide a real third risk.

  • Turn it into a recurring update

    For a program running several months, add "Show last quarter's rating next to each factor with an up or down arrow." The slide then works as a steering update.

Five factors of change FAQ

What are the five factors of change?

In this prompt they are environment, leadership, strategy and operations, human resources and coordination. Treat it as a practical checklist rather than one canonical model: the point is to rate each area a transformation depends on and act on the weakest.

Is this an official PwC template?

No. The five-factor checklist and burgundy layout are a style convention, not a PwC product. Tosea is not affiliated with PwC.

Should I use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Tosea for this?

A chat assistant can help you rate the factors and word the actions in text. Tosea builds the slide itself from the prompt and an attached survey or report, and you can edit it and export it to PowerPoint.

PwC-style describes a common consulting framework. Tosea is not affiliated with PwC. Figures on the example slides are illustrative.
