Decision Matrix Evaluation Framework Slide Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

This Decision Matrix slide provides a clear framework for categorizing decisions based on their impact (consequential vs. inconsequential) and reversibility (reversible vs. irreversible). The 2×2 quadrant layout helps teams and leaders quickly identify the appropriate approach for each type of decision. The matrix is color-coded for clarity: yellow for “Act Quickly,” red for “Invest Time,” green for “Delegate to Junior/Senior,” and orange for “Delegate to Senior.” Each quadrant includes supportive notes, making it easy to understand when to experiment, delegate, or allocate more time for critical decisions.

The structured design ensures a balance between informative text and visual hierarchy, allowing audiences to immediately grasp the decision-making logic. Icons and arrows guide the eye across the matrix, reinforcing the directional flow of thought. With its modern color scheme and professional typography, the slide is suitable for leadership workshops, business training, and corporate strategy sessions.

Optimized for PowerPoint and Google Slides, the template is fully editable, allowing users to adjust colors, replace text, and adapt examples to specific industries. This flexibility ensures that the decision-making framework can be customized for startups, enterprises, educational sessions, or project management reviews.
