Zimmer Biomet PowerPoint Template

Clean reusable template extracted from example_powerpoint.pptx (a representative ZB-branded staff-meeting deck). Captures the two-layout pattern observed there:

• Cover slide — full-bleed branded background image with the deck title overlaid in white in the upper-left.
• Content slide — title at top in Zimmer blue, content area, blue branded strip across the bottom, slide number in the lower-right, "CONFIDENTIAL – FOR ZIMMER BIOMET INTERNAL USE ONLY" in the lower-left margin above the strip.

How to use

1. Pick the deck up by zb-template.pptx and replace the title text on slide 1, then duplicate slide 2 for each content slide you need.
2. Or write a slide-generator that places the assets in the same positions (see build_template.py for the canonical positions in inches).
3. To update the template (e.g., new ZB branding lands), drop replacement files into assets/ with the same filenames and re-run python3 build_template.py.

What's intentionally left out

The example deck contained 14 slide masters and 12+ layouts accumulated over many years (multiple legacy decks merged together). This template captures only the two patterns the user identified as universal (cover + content-with-bottom-border) and discards the rest. If a specific historical layout is needed (e.g., the "Living Our Mission and Guiding Principles" branded chart on slide 3, or the "Title Slide" layout used on slide 13), copy the relevant slide out of example_powerpoint.pptx separately — that one-off content shouldn't pollute the reusable template.

Relationship to outputs/

The outputs/ auto-generation pipeline uses this template (as of 2026-04-30): outputs/workspace/generate.js references templates/assets/cover-background.jpeg for slide 1 and templates/assets/bottom-border.jpg as the bottom-border strip on slides 2–18, plus reskins content-slide HTMLs to the ZB color palette. See the 2026-04-30 entry in outputs/run-log.md for the integration details.

Coordinate note: the template's canonical coordinates are at 13.33"×7.5". The current pipeline runs at 10"×5.625" (pptxgen's LAYOUT_16x9, matching the existing 720×405pt HTML CSS). generate.js scales the template coordinates by 0.75× to fit. If the pipeline ever moves to native 13.33"×7.5", drop the scaling and use template coords as published in the table above.
