PLEASE READ Carefully and see pdf for more details
You will deliver an “informative” presentation on a current business issue in 5-6 minutes. Informative presentations aim to educate, inform or explain something to the audience, without persuading or selling them anything. Informative presentations are often analytical or involve the rational analysis of information. Sometimes they simply “report the facts” with no analysis at all, but still need to communicate the information in a clear and concise format.
You may use a topic from your business report or any topic of interest if it impacts business.

**How to write objectives
To write effective objectives for your informative presentation, you need to follow a simple formula: verb + topic + outcome.
· The verb describes what you want your audience to do or learn, such as understand, explain, compare, or demonstrate.
· The topic is the main subject or theme of your presentation, such as a concept, a process, a problem, or a solution.
· The outcome is the benefit or value that your audience will gain from your presentation, such as a new skill, a new perspective, or a new solution.
