Description

SMEs are important sources of knowledge taught to others. Traditional SMEs are isolated and are not in synch with the immediacy of demand for their knowledge. They become roadblocks to rapid transfer of skills. In contrast, the modern SMEs are in constant motion and feeding the right knowledge as they are needed by learners and workers. They focus on the impact and value of their contributions to immediate results.

How does one become a modern SME? How does an SME re-skill for the new rapidly changing workplace?

In this session, Ray will cover the following topics:
 
  • What are the expertise models that SMEs use? Which ones are dated and which ones are new trends?
  • How is knowledge transfer changing and how does this impact the way workers and learners learn?
  • What are the skills of the modern SME - the outlook, the packaging of knowledge, the tools, the delivery and transfer options.
  • What jobs and roles do the modern SMEs start to embrace?
