Kotter’s 8 Step Model PowerPoint Diagram 4

Description

This infographic presents Kotter’s 8-Step Model as a dynamic ascending stepped diagram that visually conveys the progression of change initiatives. Each of the eight stages is represented by a numbered circular element with subtle gradient fills and soft drop shadows, perched atop matching rectangular platforms that rise from left to right in a stair-step formation. Mirrored reflections beneath each block enhance the three-dimensional effect, while the consistent gray tone in the numbered circles ensures legibility against vibrant colored tops.

Master slide functionality enables effortless customization: swap out top-surface block colors, adjust gradient degrees on circular numbers, and replace placeholder titles and descriptive labels to fit your narrative. Editable text zones beneath every circle allow concise explanations, and a headline area accommodates your slide title. Fully compatible with PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template maintains vector shapes for smooth scaling and delivers high-resolution output across devices.

Use this slide to map each step of your transformation journey—from establishing urgency and forming guiding coalitions to generating short-term wins and anchoring new approaches in culture. The ascending block design underscores the sequential nature of Kotter’s methodology while consistent alignment keeps audience focus on progression. Simply duplicate the diagram, reassign color values, or collapse steps to highlight subsets of the model.

Leverage built-in animation placeholders to introduce each step with entrance effects that guide audience attention. Group elements for quick repositioning or layering. The template’s clean construction ensures seamless slide assembly and professional polish.
