Research & Development Strategy Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

This Research & Development Strategy Pyramid Template provides a clear, structured visual for illustrating how organizations progress from foundational product development to advanced research initiatives. Designed with a modern, professional look, the template uses a three-tier 3D pyramid to highlight distinctions between short-term, medium-term, and long-term R&D activities. It is ideal for communicating strategic priorities, resource allocation, and innovation pathways to stakeholders in a concise and visually compelling format.

What’s Inside the Template

The template presents a layered R&D model divided into three core components: Product Development, Technology Development, and Basic Research. Each tier is paired with descriptive bullet points that define timing expectations, predictability, structure level, and strategic intent. Matching icons accompany each segment to reinforce meaning. The slide integrates a sleek 3D pyramid illustration that corresponds to the three horizontal sections, offering a dual-format view textual and visual for improved clarity and executive communication.
