SUMMARY:Working with Subject Matter Experts
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Working with Subject Matter Experts: Building Productive Partnerships\n  \n  \n  \nYou know the scenario: you need to develop training on a complex topic\, but the subject matter experts (SMEs) who hold that critical knowledge are busy\, hard to engage\, or struggle to translate their expertise into learner-friendly content. It’s a common challenge faced by L&D professionals regardless of experience level. \nWorking effectively with SMEs isn’t just about extracting information—it’s about building relationships that transform technical expertise into impactful learning experiences. When these partnerships falter\, projects stall\, content quality suffers\, and frustration mounts on both sides. \nThat’s why this Coffee Chat is all about “The Art of Working with Subject Matter Experts: Building Productive Partnerships.”\nIn this coffee chat\, we’ll tackle the challenges of working with SMEs and share practical strategies for successful collaboration. We’ll explore how to establish clear roles\, facilitate knowledge extraction\, and maintain productive relationships throughout the development process. Whether you’re working with reluctant SMEs or managing those who want to include everything\, this session will equip you with approaches to navigate these partnerships effectively. \nWhat you can expect: \n\nSetting the Foundation: Strategies for establishing clear expectations and building rapport with SMEs from day one\nEffective Knowledge Extraction: Techniques for asking the right questions and getting beyond “the curse of knowledge”\nManaging Difficult Situations: Approaches for working with resistant\, overly technical\, or time-constrained SMEs\nMaintaining the Relationship: Tips for keeping SMEs engaged throughout the development process and for future projects\n\nJoin us on March 18\, 2025\, at 11am CST to share experiences and learn techniques for transforming SME relationships from challenging to collaborative! \n  \nRegister now and enhance your ability to work with SMEs to create truly effective learning!\n  \nCan’t Make It In Person?
