Presentation ‘Dragon’s Den’ review


Now time has past after the dragons den style presentation pitch for the land air and sea vehicle project I’ve had time to reflect on the  outcome, the overall experience and how it all went.

Overall it was a good learning experience, being able to pitch ideas with the added incentive of a investment, even though that may of only be a few pieces of chocolate haha.  And personally I thought it was a fantastic idea and hope it is implemented in the future again and again for all years, it really gives an insight into the presentational style and professionalism that will be required in industry and gives everyone a good head start to work on this.

Now for my presentation. Now every time I do any sort of public speaking I feel racked with nerves and it shows during the presentation, but this time, although the nerves were still there, with the previous practice of last year they were reduced and during the presentation and I was told by my peers that it did not appear rushed and was a very calm and well thought out presentation. Although I still forgot to mention parts like usual, especially one part, being very important, which was the design and functions of the cockpit and the two pilot control system used where one pilot would be in charge of the land version of the design using standard steering wheel design and the other would control the sea and air versions using a joystick design.

Another idea I thought was very beneficial although added to my nerves was the fact that we presented in front of not just the tutors ‘dragons’ but the entire year group, this gave ability to view and critic other peoples presentations as well as seeing a wide variety of different designs and approaches to the project so that we can take the best of everyone's ideas to add to future presentations.


So in conclusion, my review of the presentations as a whole, the idea is a fantastic one and should be regularly implemented in the future not just for added practice for pitching, but to be able to see broader ranges of ideas and to see what you could improve on so that we can be more prepared for  industry.
