Review on Group Presentation 5: Remuneration by Vivid Project Group

This week’s presentation is by the Vivid group on the topic- Remuneration. The overall oral presentation was not engaging and lack of interaction with the audience. The first and last speaker managed to lift up the atmosphere by having a more lively tone as they speak but the overall performance was a bit dull and could not grab the audiences’ attention. In terms of the written presentation, the graphics or layout were simple to read, the down side of the written presentation was it has too many words for a presentation slides and that method of communication is not so effective as the audience tend to lose focus on the topic.

          To strengthen the points and topic, the team was able to provide some examples such as an image of a pay slip and explaining the format of a pay slip and what information should be on the pay slip. By explaining, the presenter caught the attention of the crowd and it shows a form of interaction with the audience. However, not all presenter tried to engage with the audience, some of them seem lost and confused by the topic they are talking about, it was very obvious that they were reading from the paper or notes they have and while speaking, they got lost and did not understand their own points. It was clear that the presenters did not prepare or prepared last minute. The fact that they did not understand the points, it was difficult for the audience to be able to understand, and therefore, I was confused as they speak.

          The team gained their information from the Fair Work website and have gotten general information. To emphasize on the points, they too show some images alongside. They have referenced the website and images that they have. I thought it would be nicer if they had provided more specific examples of how is the topic related to their group project.

          The members could improve their performance by preparing and having an arrangement (who is presenting first, who is next etc.) because the flow of the presentation is important to show that one topic/subtopic leads to another instead of throwing pieces of information to the audience. The members should be more prepared and also not dissolved in their own points, the part where the presenter got confused at his own content and points made clearly shows that he was unprepared and that also contributed to the downside of the presentation. It would be really good to have an in depth understanding on the topic before being able to help the audience understand the topic.
