Communicating Complex Technical Information to Non-Technical Audiences

If you are a scientist, researcher, QA/QC, or product development expert, you are dealing with complex concepts, specialized material, and information that may have taken years to master. But sooner or later, you need to communicate what you know to audiences who are not as technically experienced and knowledgeable as you: your company’s management, regulatory bodies and the general public.

This challenge is difficult. On the one hand, you need to ensure that what you communicate is technically correct and appropriately precise. On the other hand, you need to make complex ideas clear, easy to understand and memorable. How do you strike that balance, and tread that fine line between talking over the head of your audience and "dumbing down" your presentation to the extent that your core message is lost or distorted? This audio conference provides attendees with proven techniques for meeting the communication challenge.

Communicating Complex Technical Information to Non-Technical Audiences was presented by Karl Keller, Principal, with Communication Partners and aired on 2009-05-21. For more details or to download this event, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

Creating Policies and Procedures That Work

If you are a scientist, researcher, QA/QC, or product development expert, sooner or later you have to address critical quality and regulatory issues. And there is no more important component of sound quality and regulatory practices than well-thought-out and well-written policies and procedures.

Sub-optimal policies and procedures can have a significant deleterious effect on an organization -- not just in regulatory compliance but also in overall productivity. And even the most knowledgeable subject matter experts can struggle when creating policies and procedures.

Of course, this is not surprising – after all, framing policies and establishing procedures present significant challenges. What processes should have policies? Why? What procedures should be documented? And how extensively should they be documented? And what are the best approaches to drafting policies and procedures that will make them clear, easy to understand, easy to follow, and – perhaps most important of all – acceptable to regulatory authorities? In this audio conference, attendees learn important strategies to meet these challenges.
