• Format: A short, focused presentation followed by audience questions.
• Content: Typically research findings, technical updates, project outcomes, or thought-leadership insights.

B) Best Practice in Action Case Study – 15 min talk + 5 min Q&A (practical)

• Format: Same duration as above but framed around a practical case study from industry or operations.
• Content: Walks the audience through a real example—what was done, how it was implemented, challenges faced, lessons learned, and measurable outcomes.
• Style: Practical and applied, designed to show best practice in action that others can learn from and potentially replicate in their own workplace.
