How do I create a petal diagram for a competitor analysis in PowerPoint 2013?

Quick method using shapes (no add-ins):

  • Insert a central circle: Insert > Shapes > Oval (hold Shift), format fill/outline.
  • Create one petal: Insert > Shapes > Oval, make it elongated, rotate slightly so one end points to center.
  • Position the petal so its narrow end overlaps the central circle. Right-click the petal > Send to Back so it sits under the center.
  • Duplicate the petal (Ctrl+D) and rotate each copy by a fixed angle: Select a petal > Format > Rotate > More Rotation and set Rotation = (360 ÷ number of competitors) × k for each copy (k = 0,1,2…).
  • Align everything to the center: select all shapes, Format > Align > Align Center and Align Middle.
  • Add text: right-click shape > Edit Text, or insert text boxes. Use consistent fonts/colors to show strengths/weaknesses.
  • Group (Ctrl+G) the whole diagram and save as a slide object or image.

Tell me how many competitors (petals) you need and I’ll give exact rotation angles and a color scheme.
