Cycle and circle diagram templates for PowerPoint
Circular diagrams for processes that repeat or ideas around one center: four quarters, ring segments with rows beside, a hub with four to eight satellites, a hub with a takeaway, and mind maps. Use a cycle when the last step feeds back into the first. Each one arrives in your deck's own colors and fonts.

Questions
When should I use a cycle diagram?
When a process repeats, such as a planning cycle or a continuous improvement loop, so the last step leads back to the first.
How do I make a mind map in PowerPoint?
Put the main topic in the center, add four to six branches for the themes, and keep each branch to a few words. Insert a mind map here to start with balanced branches.
