SlideGenius Presentation Systems
Audit, build, roll out, oversight
Four steps, in the order you buy them. The audit shows where your template stands. The build makes it something Copilot can learn from. Roll out puts it in front of your people. Oversight keeps it working as the platform changes and your teams drift.
Presentation expertise and the admin setup, from one team
IT consultancies can switch the Copilot settings on, but they cannot design the template and example slides that make the output good. Most design agencies cannot do the admin setup. We do both, and every step below follows the method we used to build and test our own Copilot-ready system first.
How SlideGenius Presentation Systems works
Audit
We run a copy of your template through our checklist: theme colors and fonts, layout names and types, layout coverage, placeholders against loose text boxes, example slides, speaker notes and file weight. With your brand book, we check the template against it too. You get the findings in priority order (fix first, before launch, tidy), the reason each one matters for Copilot, a proposed layout plan and a recommendation. No usable template yet? We start your Brand Kit from your brand book, your website, or a deck you send us. See a sample audit report.
Build
We rebuild the theme, layouts and placeholders to Microsoft’s guidance, so a model can read the file, not only a person. We clear production clutter, consolidate duplicate layouts, and add the purpose layouts Copilot needs: agenda, chart, table, columns, image and text, team, process, closing. Our designers create the example slides that show Copilot your visual language, with real content. We write the rules file, assemble your Brand Kit section by section, and test against a fixed set of prompts until the output stops needing fixes. Word and Excel templates in your brand are add-ons too.
Roll out
Licenses, brand manager, policy, publishing the Brand Kit, strict brand adherence and template settings: done for you or guided on a call. We check that the template reaches the people who use it, and that they have a start file, because Copilot will not build in a blank file with strict brand adherence on. Your IT team deploys the brand fonts if you want them used.
Oversight
Every quarter we re-run the tests, review what your people actually generated, refresh the examples, update the rules, and send a written report. Your part is about 1½–2 hours a quarter: recent Copilot decks for us to review, any brand changes, approving refreshed examples, uploading the updated files to your Brand Kit, and the review call. How oversight works.
The whole engagement at a glance
Four steps in order, with typical durations, and where your team takes part.
What we bring, and what we need from you
Our test showed the result depends on your half too.
| We deliver | You provide |
|---|---|
| The audit and a written recommendation | A named brand manager in your Microsoft 365 admin policy |
| The rebuilt PowerPoint template, with example slides | Your approved photos (without them, Copilot uses stock images of its own) |
| Word and Excel templates in your brand, as add-ons | Your icon set, if you want it in the Brand Kit |
| Your Brand Kit, ready to load: one folder for each section of Microsoft’s Brand Kit screen, and a setup guide that walks the screen in order | Your brand fonts deployed organization-wide, if you want them used instead of their standard stand-ins |
| Prompt testing, and quarterly oversight | Someone to approve the example slides (usually your design team) |
| Each quarter: re-tests, a review of your decks, refreshed examples, updated rules, a written report and a review call | Each quarter, about 1½–2 hours: 10–20 recent Copilot decks for us to review, any brand changes, approval of refreshed examples, uploading the updated files to your Brand Kit, and the review call |
Your part in an Oversight quarter
How we handle your template and your tenant
What this means for the people involved
For your design team: you stop producing routine internal decks and get the strategic work back. We ask you to approve the example slides, because they are what Copilot learns from.
For IT: settings are locked centrally, staff cannot override them, we work through a named brand manager under your access rules, and we do not need to hold credentials.

Questions you may have
Where does an engagement start?
With a fixed-price audit of your current template. It gives you evidence rather than an opinion, so you can decide what to do next.
Can our IT team do the settings themselves?
Yes, and it takes an afternoon. We can guide them on a call. The design half, the template and example slides, is what we add.
Do you need admin access to our Microsoft 365 tenant?
No. By default we guide on a screen share while your people click, and we do not hold credentials.
Who approves the example slides?
Someone on your side, usually your design team. They are the teaching material for Copilot, so the people who own your brand should sign them off.
What if we don’t have a usable template?
We start your Brand Kit from your brand book, your website, or a deck you send us.
Do you change our original template file?
No. We always work on a copy.
