Hexagonal Design Thinking Cycle Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

Leverage this comprehensive hexagonal design thinking cycle slide to illustrate the six iterative phases of user-centric innovation. A central “Design Thinking” label anchors a multilayered ring segmented into Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test, and Implement—each highlighted in distinct colors and numbered for immediate clarity. Sleek arrow shapes and loop indicators reinforce the process flow, guiding audiences through understanding, exploring, and materializing solutions. The crisp white background, subtle drop shadows, and modern typography deliver a professional aesthetic that keeps focus on your content.

All graphics are fully vector-based and editable in both PowerPoint and Google Slides. Swap icons, adjust segment colors, resize connectors, or modify labels in seconds without losing resolution. Built-in master slide compatibility ensures consistent formatting across your deck, while intuitive placeholders streamline content updates and eliminate version-control issues. Whether you’re mapping customer insights, defining problem statements, brainstorming solutions, or tracking implementation, this ready-to-use template accelerates workshop prep and boosts audience engagement.

Project managers, UX designers, innovation facilitators, and product teams will benefit from this slide when leading design thinking workshops, stakeholder interviews, or iterative development sessions.
