Comments:

Great Presentation

Great Speaker – well organized and presented!

Extremely good

Overall Good Presentation

What I appreciated most about this presentation:

Thoughtful discussion on converging proposal planning and project execution tools

Knowledgeable presenter and well spoken

Reminder that what we write someone has to execute

Interesting examples and energetic presentation

Applicable, but also entertaining

Provided real-life examples of what happens when the transition does not go well

How can we improve?

Keep the presentation shorter to allow for more group discussion and Q&A
