Using Strategy Management Pillar Graphics in PowerPoint Presentations

So how can you use strategy management pillar graphics?

Present Your Company Vision, Mission, and Values

If you need to make any sort of presentation, you can use pillars to help explain your foundation. Share your company vision, mission, and values in a strategy definition meeting. Alternatively, you can present those aspects of your company as a supplement to another presentation to establish context and your base.

Share Project Plan Essentials in Columns

Share your Execution, Capability, Technology, and Clients. Explain how those things support the overall project goal.

Explain Strategic Management with Pillar Graphics

Your Company Vision is supported by your Core Values. In this example, we use Customer Focus, Solutions you implement, People you recruit and develop, how you Monetize, and your Operations. If there are different pillars for your organization, you can easily make substitutions or offer alternate business models.

Describe the Pillars in Detail

You aren’t limited to using the pillars together. If you want to break down your pillars, you’re welcome to do so. In this example, we break down the Customer Focus core value. We provide the definition and a brief explanation of the value within the pillar itself, and then explain how that particular value factors into our Strategy Management. The icon, colors, and text can be modified to suit any core value.

Highlight the Meaning of Your Company’s Core Values

Don’t feel restricted. You can also explain your Company Core Values in detail using description templates. The Pillar is removed and substituted for the Base which represents the Company’s Core Values. Provide as many details as you can make room for in the description bar, and customize the slide with an icon of your choosing.

Present your values, mission, and vision. Offer your project plan essentials with a striking visual metaphor. Explain strategic management and offer detailed descriptions of all components.
