Listening to this week's edition of *I Was In The Pandemic Government - Get Me Out Of Here!*, I was reminded of technical teams speaking to their non-technical or less technical clients and how very hard it can be to work with experts. Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty, he clearly knows his stuff and easily slips into technical flow. Lead Counsel Hugo Keith asks him to "Please slow down." Mr. Whitty obliges, but with a break-stopping energy I recognise. I totally get what his brain experienced in that moment. This used to spin my brain out; a flood of silent questions would start, 'How do I get my brain to meet the level of this audience?', 'What is the level of this audience?', 'What size is the audience?', 'How many levels are there?' All this while you're still trying to explain a technical point. I don't think I'm the only one experiencing this, and I wonder what impact not addressing this type of communication is having on the decisions we're making and ultimately our overall strategies? I've been exploring politics in my county, and I've been shocked at the complicated problems we give to laypeople to solve without ensuring they have the support to REALLY understand and make the best decisions possible. I've recently been wondering if we should start to demand a minimum quota of experts on the many advisory panels, for example? There is a responsibility on the experts to try and break down their explanations, and maybe that's another factor: how long will explanations take, and how deep would they need to go? Is a drip feed of content with context and examples possible in the time frame available? Who decides who the experts are? I don't have any answers - yet - but I am keen to know what you think or if you've experienced this misalignment and what happened, both from the perspective of experts and the users.
