Free Workflow Templates for PowerPoint & Google Slides

A lot of activities go into running a business. Workflow refers to how these activities connect, starting from the first to the last activity.

Businesses that can track and monitor their workflow will find it easier to automate their processes to achieve better results.

When broken down to the simplest form, every business workflow comprises three components:

• Input
• Transformation
• Output.

Take manufacturing workflow, for example. The first activity is sourcing raw materials. After that, the materials are transformed into finished products. Finally, the finished products are sent to the logistics/marketing department.

This cycle continues perpetually until the manufacturing outfit ceases to exist.

There are three broad types of workflow: Process, Case, and Project workflows.

Start by defining the primary goal of the presentation, which should set the tone for your design preferences as well as the target audience. Next, filter which elements have a direct impact on the audience such as language usage, knowledge level of the discipline covered, challenges, etc.

The research follows by specifying the supporting evidence of your presentation, such as charts, statistics, written data, bibliography, and so on. Collect the assets and cull them according to their importance on your presentation topic.

Outline all aspects as if writing a narrative, which should contain three main sections: an Introduction, the Body, and an impactful Conclusion.
Test and review as many times as required.

Title and Opening for the presentation as the first item. The content itself comes after that, with the relevant data such as charts, tables, images, etc. Transition slides are important as they refresh the audience’s attention span, therefore images or quotations can be used for this purpose. Explain the conclusion in 1-2 slides, and finish up with a “Thank You” slide as extra bonus.
