"Text Box."

Add Shapes and Arrows
PowerPoint has a variety of arrow, connector and line tools to link
elements together and demonstrate causality, conditions,
interventions and other relationships within your model.

04
Call Out Explanations
PowerPoint text boxes allow you to call out
explanations, caveats and assumptions next to
diagram elements without cluttering your core
visual.

06
Utilize Icons
and Symbols
Icons and symbols can provide
visual cues and enhance the
clarity of your ToC. You can
insert icons from PowerPoint's
library or import custom ones
to represent specific elements
within your ToC. For instance,
use a dollar sign icon for
financial inputs or a heart icon
for social impact.

07
Implement
Consistent
Color Coding
Color coding helps differentiate
ToC components and aids in
understanding. Maintain a
consistent color scheme
throughout your visualization.

08
Keep It Simple and
Readable
Remember that simplicity is key. Avoid overcrowding your
slide with too much information or complex visuals.
