Wayfinding: Pitch and Feedback

Both myself and Fleur presented our wayfinding pitch on behalf of the group as we felt most comfortables to present within the group as other members preferred to no present. This was a helpful process as I felt this allowed me to gain more experience with presenting which is something I’m not very confident with and find difficult. However I personally feel this presentation went well, with all topics being covered clearly and concisely allowing enough time for questions at the end of the presentation. In relation to the presentation itself we discussed the key aspects of out wayfinding system allowing the concept and de

sign to be delivered clearly with any additional questions being successfully answered during the question and answer section at the end of the pitch. Personally I’m happy with the presentation skills I demonstrated within this pitch as it has allowed me to gain confidence speaking in front of large group of people, whilst clearly delivering what I needed to say.

Feedback:

Upon completing our pitch we received feedback as a group based on the pitch/content of the pitch. Feedback stated that we delivered a solid presentation however it wasn't really a pitch more a presentation of an idea, whereas a pitch need to sell an idea in order to gain support. Furthermore it was suggested to use scale more to showcase how people would interact with the system, show potential human interaction to allow audience to see how system would work within the environment. Therefore it was suggested that we could of focused on the idea of the circle more and honed in on the idea of community and sustainability rather than focusing on the design of the actual system. Overall the pitch had massive potential but needed more scale and consideration to make good ideas great. Overall I feel this feedback is fair and has allowed me to realise the difference between and pitch and presentation giving me an idea of what to include and focus on in the future.
