The Four-Step Connector Cards diagram provides a structured way to present four related stages in PowerPoint and Google Slides. Each stage occupies a numbered card, while curved connectors establish a continuous visual sequence. This editable infographic works for business processes, project workflows, and plans that require four distinct steps.

Design and Structure
The diagram consists of four vertically oriented cards with rounded corners, positioned at equal intervals along a horizontal axis. Each card reserves its upper portion for a short heading and a centered description. An icon placeholder sits near the lower left corner, while a large numeral anchors the lower right. This arrangement separates explanatory information from visual symbols without dividing the card into additional sections.
Curved connector lines run around the card edges rather than crossing the content areas. Each line combines straight segments, rounded turns, and circular endpoints. The alternating entry and exit positions establish a repeating pattern between adjacent cards. Consistent card proportions, generous internal spacing, and aligned typography create a balanced composition. The complete arrangement follows a left-to-right reading order, with individual stages remaining visually self-contained.
