Capital Budgeting Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

Explain the capital budgeting lifecycle with clarity using this structured circular process slide designed for strategic finance and investment presentations. The visual centers on a core “Capital Budgeting” hub surrounded by six interconnected stages, each represented by a numbered circular segment with a distinct color accent. This radial layout emphasizes continuity and decision flow, making it easy to communicate how investment ideas move from identification through execution and performance review.

Each step is supported by a concise text block positioned around the diagram, clearly outlining key actions such as identifying investments, developing proposals, evaluating returns and risks, approving capital, executing projects, and reviewing performance outcomes. The clean white background, soft shadows, and modern typography ensure excellent readability while maintaining a polished, executive-ready aesthetic. Color-coded elements help differentiate stages without distracting from the content, allowing audiences to follow the process intuitively.

Designed for flexibility, the slide is fully editable, enabling users to adjust stage names, descriptions, colors, or sequence to match organizational frameworks or industry-specific practices. The circular structure works particularly well for explaining recurring review cycles and long-term investment governance. Optimized for both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template preserves layout integrity and visual quality across platforms, ensuring smooth collaboration and presentation delivery.

By consolidating the entire capital budgeting process into a single visual, this slide supports better understanding, faster alignment, and more effective decision-making in financial planning discussions.
