Layering competencies three-column summary

Summary

A text-only synthesis slide: a coral serif headline over three columns of prose, the left column carrying a bulleted list and the others running bold-lead-in paragraphs.

Visual description

Blush-cream ground with the "01 JOURNEYS INTO FORESIGHT" header and page "13" on a hairline rule. The headline "Respondents frequently build on their existing expertise by layering foresight competencies." runs in a coral-orange serif, top-left. Below, the body is in three columns. The left column opens with intro lines then a bulleted list of specialisation options (Foresight-Driven Innovation, Trend Research or Forecasting, and so on). The center and right columns run continuous prose with bold inline lead-in phrases ("Organisational Foresight", "Business Strategy", "Speculative Design") that act as mini sub-heads. A small italic footnote sits at the bottom-left.

Key takeaway

Using bold inline lead-ins inside running prose as lightweight sub-headings, so a dense three-column synthesis stays navigable without breaking into separate boxes. Pairing one bulleted column with two prose columns mixes scan-and-read on a single slide.

Reuse notes

A good "what we learned" or summary page where you need to cover a lot of ground in words. Three columns of body is dense; the serif headline and the bold lead-ins do the work of keeping it scannable. Keep an accent (coral) on the headline so a text-heavy slide still anchors visually.
