SUMMARY:The Art of Subject Matter Expert Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Let’s build bridges with our subject matter experts!\n  \nIn this Coffee Chat\, we’ll explore your techniques for collaborating effectively with Subject Matter Experts. \nWhen it comes to developing a compelling\, engaging\, highly accurate\, and relevant learning program\, successfully working with subject matter experts (SME) can be tricky. Collaborating with SMEs is more of an art than a science. The tactics you use to build and preserve your relationship with the SME can mean the difference between elegant content simplicity and your learning initiative crashing into a ball of flames. \nWe all accept that design simplicity is critical to the exchange of knowledge. As workplace educators\, our job is to help people succeed in the workplace. \n  \nOur SMEs have a different role. Their role is to have complete knowledge of a topic to ensure the wheels go ’round and ’round. Their knowledge helps the organization perform at its level best. Therefore\, being prepared with questions to respect their time and help you gain as much useful information as possible is critical. Even more critical is having a solid relationship based on trust and respect. \nNow\, enter the big question. What tactics can you use to build a relationship with your SME that is based on trust\, respect\, and cooperation? \nQuestions on the table are:\n\nHow do we build a strong foundational relationship with SMEs: Understanding their perspective and establishing mutual trust and respect?\nHow do we maintain momentum: Strategies to keep your project on track without overwhelming your SMEs.\nWhat techniques can we use to capture clarity and relevance: Techniques to translate SME knowledge into engaging and learner-friendly content.\n\nThis is an open invitation to all L&D professionals\, whether you’re new to the field\, transitioning from teaching\, or looking to sharpen your collaboration skills. \nDon’t miss this chance to connect\, share\, and learn from the collective wisdom of the Learning Rebels community. Sign up for the coffee chat today\, and let’s explore how to build relationships with the gate keepers of knowledge! \nCan’t be there live?
