Develop and deliver a presentation

This standard is about developing and delivering a presentation. You agree the purpose, content, style and length of the presentation then research and develop the presentation to suit your audience. When delivering the presentation, you use voice tone, pace, volume and body language to reinforce the presentation's message and maintain audience interest. You make contingency arrangements for potential problems that may arise. The standard also includes you reflecting on the outcomes of the presentation to identify personal learning points and improvements for future presentations.

It is for professionals in business administration roles who develop and deliver a presentation.
