Elevate How You Communicate: Storytelling & Tailoring Technical Messages To Drive the Outcomes You Want

As a participant in this session you can expect to learn how to drive outcome focused communication through the Prepare/Create/Deliver framework. This framework will help you understand how to articulate your problem statement; identify stakeholders; develop direct, organized, and simple materials; check for understanding; expand your point of view; and stay focused on the outcome you’re looking to drive. You’ll then be able to leverage the session materials as a succinct guide for developing effective outcome focused communications in the future.

The Why: As engineers our solutions and ideas are only as good as our ability to articulate them. Developing our ability to effectively drive outcome focused communications improves efficiency in building buy-in from key stakeholders and accelerates the decision making process with leadership. Communication is a core competency for a reason, and learning how to stay outcome focused will help evolve that competency for engineers and technologists at all levels.

Key Takeaways:

• How to effectively prepare for outcome focused interactions
• Create simple and direct materials
• Deliver your communication in a focused and compelling way

This session is for... any technologist looking to enhance their ability to drive and influence outcomes with teams, peers, and leadership.
