Guidelines and suggestions for using the corporate presentation

This presentation introduces Willis Towers Watson, our integrated approach and our strategic positioning, and includes high-level details about each part of our company. It is intended to be modular, and in most cases, it won’t be necessary to use the entire deck. (It takes well over 30 minutes to go through the entire presentation.) You are welcome to choose the slides that make the most sense for your audience. We recommend including slides 1 – 6 and slide 8, which provide an overview of Willis Towers Watson.

When choosing your slides, be aware that this presentation is global in nature, and some slides might not apply to your audience. For example, slide 7 may not correctly describe the process we use with your client, especially if the client is small, local or relies on us for limited services or products.

Similarly, if you are focusing on one segment of our business, you may choose to reduce the number of slides describing other segments. We do recommend using the first slide that describes each segment, however.

Supporting slides (appendix) are also optional.
