Nandani's response lacks clarity and depth regarding the specifics of collaborating with different teams to gather data for a report. The response is vague and focuses more on general communication skills rather than providing a structured approach to cross-functional communication. The benchmark response highlights specific actions taken to manage communication and data collection effectively, which is missing in Nandani's answer. To improve, Nandani could have detailed a specific instance, the steps taken to ensure effective communication, and how these actions led to successful data collection and reporting.
