Description

“SMEs are so technical, so hard to understand, so boring” – this is the complaint of customers, leaders and non-technical team members. SMEs are valuable because they carry in their brains the lock and key to organizational knowledge. However, organizations suffer when critical knowledge remains in the minds of SMEs who are unable to persuade and engage their customers and team members.

This webinar will present two case studies on how SMEs have become engaging, rapid and relevant in providing their knowledge and skills to help train people, reduce bottlenecks, lower costs and increase the speed of generating profits.

The topics cover:
 
  • What is the new mindset of successful SMEs?
  • What thinking processes and characteristics do they embrace and faithfully apply?
  • What are the characteristics and challenges that make or break a good SME?
  • Case #1: Large retail chain 
4,000 stores, high turnover staff, SME needs to rethink product and process education, impact to learning, productivity and store fast turnarounds
  • Case #2: Sales organization
1,200 sales people uninterested in learning, needs snippets of learning as reminders, SME thought of fun, persuasive, fast, inexpensive, easily accessible reminders
