Reengineering Communication:
How to Speak to Non-Techies
Technology is rapidly transforming virtually all sectors at an unprecedented scale, creating new, exciting, and sometimes intimidating opportunities for professionals in the industry. However, this does not mean that all valuable professionals work in technology. For this reason, it is imperative to be able to articulate yourself with non-techies in mutual understanding, to avoid losing anything in translation, and without appearing condescending.
We are joined by Edward Schiappa, professor and former Head of Comparative Media Studies and Writing, and MIT’s John E. Burchard Professor of the Humanities, as he assists in bridging the communication gap between techies and non-techies for improved collaboration between sectors.
