Do-it-yourself Inverted Pyramids

Slide Content

This PowerPoint slide presents a concept of "Do-it-yourself Inverted Pyramids" with two 3D models, one illustrating a "5 Tier Pyramid" and the other a "9 Tier Pyramid." The instruction to "Ungroup & remove layers, if needed," suggests these pyramids can be customized for specific presentations. Each tier could represent hierarchical levels of information, or steps in a process with the most significant component at the bottom, expanding upward to the less critical elements.

Graphical Look

• Two three-dimensional inverted pyramid diagrams positioned side by side, dominating the slide.
• The left diagram is smaller, made up of five horizontal layers with varying shades of teal, representing the 5-tier pyramid.
• The diagram on the right is larger, consisting of nine layers with shades of blue, representing the 9-tier pyramid.
• Both pyramids cast a light gray shadow beneath them, enhancing the 3D effect.
• The background of the slide is white, offering a stark contrast to the colored pyramids.
• No additional icons or decorative elements are present, focusing attention solely on the pyramid graphics.

The slide has a clean, professional appearance with a minimalist design that highlights the two inverted pyramid diagrams. The color gradient on both pyramids provides a visual cue to differentiate the layers clearly.

Use Cases

• To showcase a hierarchy of company values or operational principles, from the broad base to pinnacle priorities.
• Illustrating the component layers of a complex product or service, indicating the foundational elements at the bottom.
• As a visual metaphor for inverted organizational structures, where a wide base of employees supports fewer managers at the top.
• In a strategic planning context to represent the distribution of resources or attention across different levels of a strategy.
