Comment:
The overall delivery and communication of your presentation was excellent.The use of visual aids and the interaction with
the audience were particularly well done.The work was evidentially original and was closely related to the orignal brief.
Your general recommendations appeared well thought out and had clear opportunities to impact positively for the client.
The only area that was aof real concern was the lack of engagement back some members of the team. It’s essential that all
members are able to demonstrate a significant contribution to the development of the work and its delivery.
