The Hub and Spoke System diagram is an incredibly useful way to visualize the relationships between a central node or hub in a system, and other smaller connected elements.

To use this template, start by changing the text in the middle to be the most central (or largest) part of your system that you are mapping. Don't worry too much about being accurate at this point; you can always go back and change it. You might like to add an image that represents that large/central part. Then, fill in the text for the smaller, secondary nodes around the large hub. Think about the spokes themselves; what might they represent? Are there different kinds of relationships going on? e.g.:
• Arrows in or out to indicate flow
• Value being exchanged, like money for products/services
• Information being exchanged, like order information or payment information

You might need to add, remove, or rearrange various nodes and lines to adapt this template to be like the system you area visualizing.
