EP. 401 - Ken Little: Bridging Engineering and Business

from Teach the Geek: Public Speaking and Communication Skills for Technical Professionals · host Neil Thompson

Ken Little: Bridging Engineering and BusinessToday, we’re tackling one of the most expensive and underestimated problems in modern organizations: the communication gap between technical professionals and nontechnical leaders. I’m joined by Ken Little, SVP of Engineering, to explore where engineers most often struggle with nontechnical audiences, how to make complex ideas understandable to business-minded leaders so they can make better decisions, and what happens when that translation breaks down. We also dig into how organizations can build stronger communication muscles, and how engineers can move from explaining problems to making recommendations.To learn more about Ken, visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/kennethllittle/__TEACH THE GEEK (http://teachthegeek.com) Prefer video?
