Topic

One key success factor in Training and other Performance Improvement Projects is access to and the commitment of subject-matter experts (SMEs). They are needed in front-end analysis to help interpret performance data that has been collected and to help select optimal solutions. SME’s input is essential, too, for the design and development of most training and other performance improvement solutions. They provide most of the relevant content. This presentation explores several ideas and processes on how to obtain complete and accurate input from SMEs.

Objectives:

Identify at least two ideas you can use for finding the real SMEs.
List at least three new ideas for obtaining complete and accurate information from SMEs while maintaining a positive productive relationship.
From a list of common barriers to working more productively with SMEs, develop ways to respond to these barriers in your own environment.
Describe at least one effective way to work with multiple SMEs.
