• The circular icons contain symbols relevant to each step: a target for objectives, magnifying glass for analysis, intertwined loops for market analysis, a tic-tac-toe symbol for strategy formation, and a gear for implementation.
• Each column has a title in bold font and a list of bullet points for details, with placeholder text "Write your text here."
• The icons are connected with arrow-shaped paths, illustrating a progression from one step to the next.
• The slide background is white, providing a clean backdrop that contrasts with the colorful graphical elements.
