Expert Interview (with audience)

The Expert Interview is a participatory question and answer session in which members of the audience take the lead in asking a subject matter expert questions that are oriented towards their needs and interests, within the context of his/her expertise. Instead of the expert giving a presentation on what s/he thinks people want to know, this tool lets participants decide on the questions they consider important. The tool can be used to ‘interview’ up to three experts and can accommodate any number of participants.
