2x2 matrix and assessment templates for PowerPoint

The 2x2 is the page almost every consulting deck has at least once. Here are 19 ways to compare options against two criteria: the classic 2x2, plotted items, a 3x3 portfolio grid, heat maps, scorecards and Harvey ball assessments. Pick one, insert it after the slide you're on, and it arrives in your deck's own colors and fonts, ready for your labels.

Numbers and names on the templates are samples. Replace them with your own.

Questions

How do I make a 2x2 matrix in PowerPoint?

Draw two axes, split the area into four boxes, and name each axis with what it measures. Place items by their scores and name each quadrant by what it means. Or insert a 2x2 from this section and move the items into place.

How do Harvey balls work?

A Harvey ball is a circle filled by quarters: empty, a quarter, half, three quarters or full. In a table they show how well each option meets each criterion at a glance.

How do I make a SWOT slide in PowerPoint?

Draw a 2x2 grid, label the quadrants Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, and keep each to three or four short points. Or insert the SWOT page from this section and type straight into it.
