P.Mean: Questions for a panel on statistical consulting (created 2012-02-08). News: Sign up for "The Monthly Mean," the newsletter that dares to call itself average, www.pmean.com/news.

I am participating on a panel discussion about statistical consulting. The organizer suggested several questions that we might want to tackle if there are not that many questions from the audience. I thought they were pretty interesting questions.

1. What constitutes a successful cross disciplinary collaboration?
2. What is your biggest challenge in working collaboratively and how do you address that challenge?
3. What kind of non-statistical training helped you in your consulting?
4. What is the one thing you needed to know to be a successful consultant that you did not learn in grad school?
