Each week, the Fast Track Tools training company and the Cubicle Ninjas design firm work together to publish a template that makes it easier for you to communicate your ideas. This week we bring you a unique way to present an idea or strategy with three distinct action oriented elements.

This free template will help you easily demonstrate the three elements as parallel lanes all headed to the same place. A road or lane is a great metaphor for traveling towards a goal.

Each week, the Fast Track Tools training company and the Cubicle Ninjas design firm work together to publish a template that makes it easier for you to communicate your ideas. This week we bring you a library of “Harvey Balls,” better known as the little circles from Consumer Reports.

Maybe you have never heard of Harvey Balls? Wikipedia notes that

Harvey Poppel is generally credited with inventing Harvey Balls in the 1970s while working at Booz Allen Hamilton as a consultant.^[2][3] This is why Harvey Balls are also sometimes referred to as Booz Balls. (!)

This free template will help you quickly present a visual story on the status of multiple items in a list.

As you can see in the free, down-loadable template below, you have a table for making your list of items, a notes area for more detail and status column to place the Harvey Ball. Each of the different circles is defined in the legend at the bottom of the slide.

Each week, the Fast Track Tools training company and the Cubicle Ninjas design firm work together to publish a template that makes it easier for you to communicate your ideas. This week, we take on “flexibility” – an often overused term in business. This free template will help you stand out from the crowd when you incorporate flexibility as a concept in a presentation.

As you can see in the down-loadable template below, a spring you may easily re-size, use as a mirror image or rotate on the page beautifully illustrates flexibility. We included text boxes that can be adjusted to fit your message.
