Bridging the Gap – from Problem to Solution

Slide Content

The slide aims to illustrate the process of transitioning from a 'Current state' to a 'Desired state' through the identification of a Problem and the proposition of a Solution. On the left side, under 'Current state headline', viewers are prompted to articulate a Problem in the provided text box. This represents the starting point or challenge to be addressed. On the opposite end, under 'Desired state headline', there's a text box for outlining the Solution, symbolizing the goal or resolution. A bridge graphic spans across the slide symbolizing the journey from problem to solution.

Graphical Look

• A bridge illustration with a central span and suspension cables, symbolizing connection and transition, dominates the upper half of the slide.
• Two text boxes sit at the base of the bridge's columns; one on the left labeled 'Problem' with a blue border, and one on the right labeled 'Solution' with a green border.
• Each text box contains placeholder text encouraging the user to write details about a problem and its solution.
• A white arrow pointing rightwards sits between the 'Problem' and 'Solution' boxes, indicating a directional flow from one to the other.
• Blue dashed lines lead from the 'Current state headline' to the 'Problem' box, and from the 'Solution' box to the 'Desired state headline', which help to guide the understanding of process flow.

The overall look of the slide is clean and professional, with a minimalist design utilizing a limited color palette to highlight key elements. The use of a bridge as a metaphor for transition is visually engaging and enhances the understanding of the slide's message.

Use Cases

• To visually convey strategic plans, showcasing how an organization plans to move from its current position to its future goals.
• In training seminars to explain problem-solving methodologies, highlighting the steps from recognizing a problem to implementing a solution.
• For project proposals or pitches to investors to demonstrate the pathway from an existing challenge to a proposed innovative solution.
• During status meetings to track progress against objectives, illustrating the journey from observed issues to achieved resolutions.
