Six-Option Gear Diagram Slide Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

Use this six-option gear diagram slide to visualize interconnected processes, dependencies, or team roles with a striking mechanical metaphor. The slide features six interlocking gear icons—yellow, orange, green, teal, magenta, and grey—arranged around a central hub to imply system-wide cohesion. Each gear contains a colored circular icon placeholder and a matching title label. Text boxes positioned around the perimeter let you describe each option in detail, while subtle drop shadows and consistent typography maintain a polished, professional look.

Every element is fully editable in PowerPoint and Google Slides. Swap icons, adjust gear rotation, change gradient fills, or update text fields in seconds using master slide placeholders. The neutral background and white gear outlines ensure your brand colors and data stand out, while generous whitespace guides viewer focus. Preformatted shapes and icon sets reduce design time, allowing you to tailor the slide to your corporate theme or project palette without manual alignment.

Built for efficiency, this template comes with preloaded animations—gears rotate on click to reinforce process flow and sequential reveals for list items. Simply apply custom color schemes or replace gear graphics to adapt the visual metaphor for manufacturing workflows, system integrations, or organizational structures. The logical layout fosters clear storytelling by linking each descriptive label to its corresponding gear, driving data-driven discussions and strategic alignment.

Who is it for

Project managers, operations leaders, and process improvement teams will leverage this slide to map complex workflows, illustrate system dependencies, or assign roles. Consultants, technical architects, and training facilitators can also use the gear motif to highlight interdepartmental collaborations, feature roadmaps, or continuous improvement cycles.

Other Uses

Repurpose the gear layout to showcase SWOT factors by labeling gears for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, or adapt it for product feature breakdowns, risk assessments, or phased rollout plans. Simply relabel icons and modify animation triggers to suit internal workshops, client proposals, or executive briefings.
