Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laurel's presentation was entertaining and informative, but it was still a failure because she did not accurately analyse the needs of her audience. If she had done so, she could have tailored her message and delivery to better meet their needs and ensure that they understood the information she presented. Without this critical step, her presentation may have been enjoyable, but it ultimately did not achieve its intended purpose.
