There are several cycle process charts to choose from, some have arrows, like the Basic Cycle, and others show the relationship to a central idea, like the Radial Cycle.
Here is how you insert a Radial Cycle:
STEP 1: Click on Insert > Smart Art > Cycle > Radial Cycle
STEP 2: Enter the cycle title by clicking on a shape
STEP 3: To enter a new cycle, you need to click on a shape and select SmartArt Tools > Design > Add Shape (You can also right click on the shape and choose this option)
