Six-Stage Gear Wheel Diagram Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides
Visualize complex workflows and cyclical processes with this six-stage gear wheel infographic slide. The design features a central 3D gear shape rendered in subtle gray gradients, segmented into six outer notches—each housing a clean white icon (location marker, cloud upload, paper plane, cogwheel, shopping cart, and magnifying glass) to represent distinct stages or functions. Crisp numbering from 01 to 06 aligns each notch with its corresponding text callout, which you can position on either side of the gear for optimal readability. Built on master slides with 100% editable vector shapes, this template allows you to swap icons, adjust notch colors, resize the central gear, or modify connector lines in seconds to match your brand palette or thematic requirements.
The flat-plus-isometric aesthetic, paired with generous white space and sans-serif typography, ensures a polished, professional look across HD screens and printed materials. Subtle drop shadows beneath each icon bubble add depth without cluttering the layout. Whether you’re outlining a product lifecycle, depicting operational stages, or illustrating a risk-assessment framework, this gear wheel diagram turns detailed sequences into an intuitive visual narrative that guides audiences through each critical phase.
By leveraging built-in alignment guides and placeholder text boxes, you can maintain consistent spacing and hierarchy as you update content. Duplicate or remove notches to expand or condense the number of stages, and integrate data callouts or percentage labels for performance metrics. Fully compatible with both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this slide eliminates formatting headaches and accelerates deck creation, letting you focus on delivering persuasive, data-driven insights.
Who is it for
Project managers, process engineers, and operations directors will leverage this slide to present multi-step workflows, system overviews, and performance reviews. Strategy consultants, business analysts, and training facilitators can also adopt the gear metaphor to align stakeholders and streamline complex information.
Other Uses
Beyond process mapping, repurpose this template for product roadmaps, organizational frameworks, or technology architecture overviews. Swap icons for departmental symbols, recolor notches for thematic variation, or layer additional data charts within the central gear to highlight KPIs and progress metrics.
