Six-Step Hexagon Design Thinking Models Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

This six-step hexagon design thinking models template lays out each phase—Research, Focus, Generate Ideas, Make Inform Decision, Prototype Cycle, and Collaborate—in a clear radial arrangement around a central brain icon. Each step is highlighted within a bold, colored hexagon and connected via thin guides to numbered circles, creating an intuitive, cyclical flow. Built on master slides, every element is fully editable: swap icons, relabel stages, adjust gradient hues, or resize shapes without losing alignment thanks to snap-to-grid guides and pre-grouped vector layers. Crisp, high-resolution artwork ensures flawless rendering on projectors, HD screens, and virtual meeting platforms.

Optimized for both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template supports seamless cloud-based collaboration and preserves formatting across versions. Drag-and-drop functionality lets you import custom logos or stage-specific graphics, while global theme controls enable instant color and font updates to match your brand. Whether mapping user-centred research processes, innovation pipelines, or iterative development cycles, this versatile slide transforms abstract frameworks into a polished, professional visual narrative. Animation presets can introduce each hexagon sequentially to guide audience focus through the design thinking journey.

Who is it for

Innovation managers, UX/UI designers, product teams, and consultants who need to present iterative problem-solving frameworks, user-centred research flows, or creative ideation processes in workshops, board meetings, or client pitches.
