    Bridging the gap between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders can be challenging, but with the right approaches, communication and collaboration can flourish. Here are some strategies to enhance dialogue: 1. Simplify Technical Language: Encourage IT team members to use analogies or plain language to explain complex ideas. Avoid jargon and focus on what the stakeholders care about—impacts, outcomes, and benefits. 2. Active Listening: Both sides need to actively listen to each other. IT teams should prioritize understanding the needs and concerns of stakeholders before diving into solutions.
