Mindmap Diagrams in PowerPoint

A mind map is an effective tool for exploring an idea or concept from various angles. Usually, you do the mind mapping process on a paper or flipchart - that's the most creative way. However, you may want to present the final mind map result professionally on a screen. Why not use PowerPoint for that?

Below, you can see an example of a mindmap with six branches made solely from PowerPoint shapes.

Mindmap works well if you draw a symbol representing each branch. In the context of a slide, you can simply add icons to each item.

See the full instructions on how to create mind map branches, build a central node, and customize the color scheme and more visual examples in our blog:

Makeover of Chart Slide

On the slide below, you can see the redesign of the slide presenting the inventory aging data chart from one of our recent decks.

One piece of advice I share a lot at my training for bar charts makeover is to widen the bars. The bars hold the main information in such charts, so make them visible.

Notice how you can improve the look of the slide layout by adding a frame. This makes it more eye-catching and easier to read, the content is not just flying around.
