RSSeNEWS to be determined...

A highly participative workshop for statisticians who wish to improve their ability to help non-statistical clients.  Discussions and interactive exercise will allow participants to explore the non-statistical issues that can undermine effective consultancy.

Objectives:

• To review the many context-related and inter-personal difficulties that statisticians may encounter during consultancy interactions.
• To offer models or theories or paradigms, which shed light on why these difficulties arise.
• To indicate which ways of working might be most effective with various clients.
