-
- For the Global Benchmarking Award your written entry and presentation will be assessed on the following criteria:
- Leadership commitment to benchmarking
- Pervasiveness of benchmarking
- Formality of benchmarking
- Results achieved
- Include photographs or videos in your presentation to help you to explain your benchmarking approach. Pictures are worth a 1000 words.
- During your presentation, talk clearly and smoothly. Clarity is of the essence. Presenters with English as their mother tongue and a fast mode of speaking should think of other people in the audience whose mother tongue may not be English since this is an international event.
- Rehearse well even if you are an experienced presenter. Your audience is sophisticated, thus, reading from slides during a presentation is deemed unprofessional.
- The organizers are available to provide advice and comment on your presentation slides from 15 November. This will assist all entrants to deliver a strong presentation. Send your presentations for checking to GBN@coer.org.nz
Rules

- More than one person can deliver the presentation.
- Inform the organisers if you have any special presentation requirements other than PowerPoint such as: Video, Overhead Projector (slides), Internet access or computer audio, etc.
