The term, Honest
Broker, is used to describe an expert engaged in a new type of decision making.
Mitchell, Carew and Clift describe an Honest Broker as one who offers a range
of technical options to the stakeholder, allowing other specialist to engage in
a decision making process that will address eco-centric, techno-centric, and
socio-centric concerns. This allows for consultation between professionals and
stakeholders. This differs greatly from
the traditional technology advocate as the goal is no longer for the expert to
make all the decisions and inform stakeholders on the process. Instead, the
Honest Broker offers a technological opinion on a wide variety of technical
options. The Honest Broker does not take make a decision as opposed to the
technology advocate that makes a decision based on techno-centric concerns.
