Forest flowchart on beamer slide corner

Question

The following forest flowchart was made (spanish language):

I want to localize the above flowchart on a small part of beamer's slide:

I know maybe \hspace{} and \vspace{} could help, but also something like "resize" is needed. And I don't know how to do it.

Below I copy a MWE with the necessary code:

Any help?

Answer 1

beamer provides a columns environment where you can define as much as columns you need.

In this case you could use three columns, first and third with similar size and second as large as you want. In following code I've used two columns with width equal to .23\textwidth and the central one being .5\textwidth.

As neither central nor third columns are wide enough for their contents, I've also used a \resizebox which scales them to a certain width keeping the aspect ratio of original box.

I don't like the whole design of this slide, but this is another question.

Answer 2

As @Bobyandbob suggested, you can use \usepackage{multicol}, and \begin{multicols}{2}right after the centered text (and, of course, \end{multicols} right after \end{frame}. In order to resize your flowchart, you can use \scalebox{0.6}{:
