Slide Template

A clean, six-slide deck outline so teams can present with confidence — polish is never required.

← All resources

A clean six-slide deck — one idea per slide. Recreate it in Google Slides, Canva, or Keynote. A prototype photo or sketch beats a wall of text every time.

  1. Slide 1

    Title

    Your idea's name, your team, and your division. One bold line that says what it is.

  2. Slide 2

    The problem

    The thing you noticed that bugs people. Make us feel it.

  3. Slide 3

    The solution

    Your idea in one sentence, plus a sketch or screenshot of your prototype.

  4. Slide 4

    Who it's for

    The one person who has this problem most — give them a name and a face.

  5. Slide 5

    Why it matters

    What changes if your idea exists? Why should anyone care?

  6. Slide 6

    What's next

    Your first version and the very next step you'd take. End with one memorable line.

Tip:big words, few of them. Read every slide from the back of the room — if you can't, make the text bigger.
