4 Stage Circular Workflow

4 Stage Circular Workflow

Not everything is a straight line. The 4 Stage Circular Workflow is for the things that come back around.

Business audiences give a slide a few seconds before deciding whether to engage with it. Structure is what wins those seconds.

What’s on the slide

  • A ring divided into 4 segments
  • An icon and text block for every stage
  • Directional arrows carrying the eye around the loop
  • Distinct fill per segment for quick reference
  • Open space at the center for a title or summary

Drop in your own copy, swap the palette, resize what you need. Everything is a vector shape. 16:9, and Google Slides and Keynote handle it without issue.

Business analysts reach for this most, though team leads and executives get the same value out of it. Place it mid-deck, as the how-it-works slide. The other 4 steps templates handle the same job at different scales.
