Group Development 4 Stages (with outline symbols)

Slide Content

The slide presents the four stages of group development, each paired with a descriptive text and an associated outline symbol. "Forming" is the initial phase where the team meets and discovers opportunities and challenges. "Storming" involves sorting out conflicts and building trust among members. "Norming" sees team members accepting responsibilities and working towards success. "Performing" is the final stage where team members are competent and can make decisions independently. An area for custom descriptions and comments is provided at the bottom of the slide.

Graphical Look

• The slide background is white with decorative elements on the top and bottom edges.
• A large, semi-transparent grey banner with "4 stages of group development" overlays a blue vertical banner on the left.
• Four colored banners—light blue, red, green, and blue—represent the four stages, aligned horizontally across the slide's center.
• Outline symbols above each stage banner: Three figures in a circle for forming, a lightning bolt pair for storming, two figures with a handshake for norming, and a gear with a puzzle piece for performing.
• Below the stage descriptions is a grey text box for additional explanations or comments, with bullet point placeholders.

The slide is vibrant and uses color coding to distinguish the different stages prominently. Symbols represent the essence of each stage visually, supporting quick comprehension of the slide's message.
