How consultants use it
Standardising a deck on one chart tool makes it consistent and editable. Three habits apply:
- One chart tool: charts from different tools become a single, consistent format
- Editable and on-brand: converted charts can be restyled to the house theme
- Standardise an inherited deck: existing charts are brought into Ampler for a clean, consistent pack
Converting charts brings an inherited deck onto one editable, on-brand format.
