How can question-and-answer (Q&A) sessions add value?

A well-run question-and-answer Q and A session adds considerable value to any presentation. Here’re 3 opportunities:

1. Provide additional information or clarifications. You can also increase credibility by being transparent and strategic. For example, when you don’t have an answer, be honest about it and share how you’ll follow up, e.g. talk 1-on-1 at the end.
2. Collaborate with the audience so they can add their knowledge through the interactions from the question-and-answer Q and A process.
3. Build rapport among all participants through active listening and impromptu speaking, while tactfully manage time and disruptions.
