Risk Identification Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Description

This Risk Identification Template provides a clean and structured framework for visualizing how different types of risks should be managed based on their likelihood and consequences. Designed with a professional aesthetic, it turns complex assessments into an intuitive four-quadrant matrix that helps teams align on appropriate mitigation actions. Each quadrant Transfer, Terminate, Tolerate, and Treat is color-coded for quick interpretation, making the slide ideal for presentations where clarity and decision-readiness are essential.

What’s Inside the Template

The layout includes a prominently displayed risk matrix on the left, mapping risks along two axes: likelihood and consequences. Each quadrant hosts a distinct management approach supported by icons for visual reinforcement. To the right, four corresponding text blocks allow space for elaborating on the rationale, mitigation steps, or context behind each category. The template provides a balanced combination of visual hierarchy and structured narration, enabling presenters to offer both a high-level overview and actionable detail within the same slide.
