Backcasting Slide Template for PowerPoint

Download our Backcasting Slide Template for PowerPoint to compare scenario planning, forecasting, and backcasting methods. Planning is crucial in every field and helps estimate future aspects and to prepare for the implications accordingly. In scenario planning, multiple future scenarios are discussed to find out appropriate action plans if something happens in the coming time. Similarly, in forecasting, based on previous records and experiences, the predictions are made to create a plan. Unlike scenario planning, forecasting, or next steps, backcasting is an approach in which a desired future state is identified, and respective process steps are planned afterward. It is greatly helpful in determining the effect of obstacles on reaching goals. We have created an engaging diagram elaborating the concept of these planning methodologies. Presenters can use this PowerPoint template for their professional or academic presentations. 

This Backcasting Slide Template for PowerPoint features a four-layered diagram. It carries a horizontal arrowhead representing the time from past to future (left to right). Below this time bar, five small segments are added representing the time segments: past, present, short-term, medium-term, and long-term. Above the arrow shape, four semi-circular shapes are drawn to indicate the extent of planning approaches. For instance, the semi-circle for the next steps starts from the short term and ends in the medium-term time segment. Likewise, scenario planning extends from the present to the future. However, backcasting is the most comprehensive and extensive approach that starts from the future and ends in the past. So, this creative diagram template elaborates on the techniques and how they work. This template is ideal for project planning presentations or academic sessions to discuss planning methods. 

Presenters can change the color scheme of the shapes and alter the background settings. This slide is also provided with a dark color scheme. It can be edited with all PowerPoint versions. Download and try it now!
