Aggens' Orbits of Participation Example

Slide Content

The slide presents the 'Aggens' Orbits of Participation Example,' which is a conceptual framework illustrating different roles in a decision-making process. Each role is represented by a colored orbital path: 1. Deciders make final decisions, 2. Planners organize and prepare, 3. Advisors provide expertise, 4. Reviewers evaluate and give feedback, 5. Observers monitor without direct engagement, and 6. Unsurprised Apathetics are informed but indifferent.

Graphical Look

• The slide background is white, providing a clean and neutral canvas for the content.
• In the center of the slide, there is a multi-colored, concentric circles diagram with six orbital paths, each path assigned a different color and number from one to six.
• Each orbital path is connected to its corresponding numerical listing on the right side of the slide by a thin line.
• Numbers from one to six are placed inside or near the circles to designate each orbit.
• On the right side, there is a vertical list correlated with the orbits, with each item denoted by a colored square matching the orbit's color and a description of a role.
• The slide title is prominently displayed on the top-left, styled in teal and black font.
• To the top-right, a grey angled tag displays the text "Usage example fully editable."

The slide has a dynamic, visually engaging layout with vibrant colors that help distinguish the different orbits and associated roles. The design is professional, clean, and well-structured, making it easy to understand the hierarchy and flow of the participation model.
