FAQ slide with the five questions staff actually asked example
Context: FAQ Stack

FAQ slide with the five questions staff actually asked

An FAQ slide answers the questions an audience is already asking, in their own words, so a briefing does not stall on the same five hands going up. This one prepares staff at Wyncliffe Aged Care, a fictional provider, for a new roster system reaching every home on 1 April 2027.

Feature comparison slide with a tick and cross matrix example
Comparison: Tick/Cross Feature Matrix

Feature comparison slide with a tick and cross matrix

A feature comparison slide is only worth the space when the rows disagree, because a matrix of ticks all the way across tells a buyer nothing and a matrix of ticks down one column tells them it was written by the vendor. This one compares Pulse Payroll, a fictional product, against two fictional rivals on seven features that actually differ.

First week checklist slide grouped by day for a new starter example
Checklist: 4 Stage Tab Cards with Circle Icons

First week checklist slide grouped by day for a new starter

A first week checklist slide tells a new starter what happens on each day of their first week, so they arrive knowing what to expect and what to bring. This one is for new care workers at Haverleigh Care, a fictional home care provider, grouped into Monday, Tuesday, the middle of the week and Friday.

Fishbone diagram slide with six cause families example
Grouping: Fishbone Cause & Effect

Fishbone diagram slide with six cause families

A fishbone diagram earns its place when the effect at the head is a measured number and each bone carries causes rather than blame. This one lays out why deliveries run late on the northern run at Greenway Logistics, a fictional carrier.

Five step checklist slide for publishing a staff form example
Checklist: 5-Step Numbered Process

Five step checklist slide for publishing a staff form

A five step checklist slide lists a short procedure that must be done in a fixed order, with one clear action at each step. This one gives the HR team at Pellbrook Logistics, a fictional freight company, the five steps to complete before any new staff form goes live, from writing the questions to sharing the link.

Five whys slide that ends at a fixable cause example
Grouping: 5 Whys Vertical

Five whys slide that ends at a fixable cause

A five whys slide is worth showing when the last answer names something the organisation can change this week, not a general condition it has to live with. This one walks back a missed pay run at Pulse Payroll, a fictional bureau.

Flywheel slide where every stage has a number that moved example
Diagram: Flywheel Quadrant Cycle

Flywheel slide where every stage has a number that moved

A flywheel slide shows a loop in which each stage makes the next one easier, so growth compounds instead of having to be bought again each quarter. This one maps Harrowshare, a fictional marketplace where farmers hire machinery from neighbours, with a number at every stage.

Four dates slide for a course intake with one task per date example
Timeline: 4-Point Cross of Icon Dates

Four dates slide for a course intake with one task per date

A four dates slide gives an audience the four days they must remember and what to do on each, with nothing else competing for attention. This one sets out the 2027 Year 11 maths intake at Saltmere Tutoring, a fictional tutoring business, for families deciding whether to apply.

Four step process slide written for the customer example
Process: 4 Stepped Arrow Rows

Four step process slide written for the customer

A four step process slide breaks a service into four moves a customer can follow, each with a short name and a sentence on what happens. This one explains how Kettlewick Removals, a fictional removals company, takes a customer from sending a list of rooms to unpacking on moving day.

Fundraising progress slide with five funds against targets example
Metrics: 5 Progress Bars

Fundraising progress slide with five funds against targets

A fundraising slide has to show progress and shortfall in the same glance, because the fund that is furthest behind is the one the committee has to talk about. This one covers five funds inside a single appeal at Ashfield Community Library, a fictional library, eight months in.

Gap analysis slide from current score to target example
Grouping: Gap Analysis

Gap analysis slide from current score to target

A gap analysis slide shows where an organisation is, where it has committed to be and how far apart the two are, measured on the same scale. This one scores five digital capabilities at Wyncliffe Aged Care, a fictional provider, from an average of 2.2 out of 5 today to 3.8 by June 2028.

Gears diagram slide with three forces around one engine example
Grouping: Gear Forces

Gears diagram slide with three forces around one engine

A gears diagram slide shows a central mechanism driven by the forces around it, so the audience sees that the result depends on all of them turning together. This one shows the three forces behind the volunteer program at Corbeck Library, a fictional public library with 64 volunteers.

Global presence slide with nine countries highlighted on a map example
Context: Global Presence World Map

Global presence slide with nine countries highlighted on a map

A presence map answers one question, which is where a company operates, and it answers it faster than any list of country names. This one shades nine markets for Solace Translation, a fictional translation company, with three numbers beside the map for everything the shading cannot say.

Growth scenarios slide with base, upside and downside to 2029 example
Metrics: Growth Trajectory Scenarios

Growth scenarios slide with base, upside and downside to 2029

Three forecast lines mean nothing without the assumption that produces each one, which is why the assumptions belong on the slide rather than in the presenter's head. This one runs to 2029 for Arbor Sensors, a fictional maker of water monitoring hardware, from a common starting point of $2.3M.

Handover checklist slide for closing a website build example
Checklist: 5 Row Stack

Handover checklist slide for closing a website build

A handover checklist slide lists what a supplier gives the client when a project closes, so both sides agree the work is finished and nothing is left with the wrong party. This one shows the five items Quillary Web Studio, a fictional web agency, hands over at the end of every website build.

Hero number slide built on one figure, 3,400 hours saved example
Metrics: Single Hero Number

Hero number slide built on one figure, 3,400 hours saved

A hero number slide works when one figure is the whole point and everything else on the canvas would dilute it. This one carries 3,400 staff hours saved a year at Northgate Council, a fictional local government, with the measurement spelled out underneath so the number cannot be waved away.

Hiring plan slide that sequences twelve roles and their cost example
Timeline: Vertical Dotted Rail

Hiring plan slide that sequences twelve roles and their cost

A hiring plan slide shows which roles an organisation will hire, in what order and at what cost, so a board can see how headcount and salaries grow through the year. This one shows Arbrisk Sensors, a fictional soil sensor company, hiring twelve people in 2027 for $1.41M a year in salaries.

Honeycomb slide with six peer capabilities and their scope example
Grouping: 6-Cell Honeycomb Cluster

Honeycomb slide with six peer capabilities and their scope

A honeycomb slide shows a set of equal parts that work together, with no hierarchy and no sequence, by packing them into hexagon cells that touch on every side. This one maps the six capabilities of Quarrow Data, a fictional data team, and gives each cell a one line scope.

Hub and spoke slide with one ledger at the centre example
Hub Ring with Six Callouts

Hub and spoke slide with one ledger at the centre

A hub and spoke slide shows one central system and the connections that feed it, so the audience sees that everything flows through a single place. This one puts Brindell Ledger, a fictional accounting platform, at the hub with six integrations around it, each saying what it posts.

Iceberg slide that shows the cost the budget does not name example
Context: Iceberg Metaphor 4 Layers

Iceberg slide that shows the cost the budget does not name

An iceberg slide shows that the part of a problem people can see is the smallest part, with the larger causes or costs sitting out of view. This one shows Elderbrook Shire Council, a fictional council, that its $18,400 printing line hides a paper forms bill of $174,000 a year.

Implementation plan slide with a success measure for every phase example
Timeline: Phase Rail, Tall Cards

Implementation plan slide with a success measure for every phase

An implementation plan slide shows how a change will be rolled out in stages and what has to be true before each stage moves on to the next. This one sets out how Wyncliffe Aged Care, a fictional provider, moves 374 staff in four homes to a new roster system in 2027.

In house vs outsourced slide with five matched rows example
Comparison: 5 Rows with Icons

In house vs outsourced slide with five matched rows

An in house versus outsourced slide is decided by cost only when nothing else on it is measured, which is how practices end up outsourcing a function and regretting it within a year. This one belongs to Meridian Dental, a fictional practice, and asks the same five questions of both options.

Kanban slide showing a sprint board on a single date example
Grouping: 3 Kanban Swimlanes

Kanban slide showing a sprint board on a single date

A kanban slide shows where every piece of work sits right now, sorted into lanes such as To Do, Doing and Done, so a room can see progress without reading a ticket list. This one freezes the Sprint 14 board of Rostrel, a fictional shift planning app, on day 8 of 10.

Kano model slide with three features classified example
Grouping: Kano Model

Kano model slide with three features classified

A Kano model slide is only worth showing when the placements come from a survey rather than from a workshop vote, because the whole method rests on paired questions. This one classifies roadmap features for Rota, a fictional shift planning app.
