Working in the Public-Sector IS more Difficult

But it doesn’t have to be impossible!

Communicating Your Technical Work

The public can understand your technical, even scientific work. But there are specific steps you’ll need to take to get your public and non-technical policymakers to understand your recommendations.

Who your “Public” Is? (and Isn’t)

Do you need to inform everyone about everything related to your projects?  Do you know why the “Silent Majority” doesn’t engage early on?  Or how to get more balanced input?

Immediately Useful Training

Your team doesn’t have time to waste, and needs an effective outreach method — NOW.  Gaining public’s trust and respect can start immediately, and can last for years (even decades!) to come.
