About this episode

Ken Little discusses the communication gap between technical professionals and nontechnical leaders, exploring how to bridge this divide for better decision-making.

Ken Little: Bridging Engineering and Business Today, 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.
