Have you ever had this conversation with an SME (subject-matter expert)?

• SME: “This needs to be in the course.”
• You: “I’m not sure it does.”
• SME: “Yes, they definitely need to know it.”
• You: “But I’m not sure it will help them.”
• SME: “Well then at least need to be aware of it.”
• You: “Hmpfh.”

Your learners have needs, and your SMEs have knowledge and experience. But do those two things always line up? When creating learning content, SMEs with the best intentions can end up creating content that’s long on information, short on practical application, and wrapped up in a bullet-point PowerPoint bow.

The next thing you know, your learners are going to YouTube to find what they need instead.

In this session, you’ll learn five key strategies for working more effectively with subject-matter experts to create content that sticks. You’ll gain practical insights, tips, and resources for making the most of your SME’s expertise and for harnessing that power in a productive and helpful way.

You’ll walk away better able to move your online content from simply conveying information to helping your learners solve the real problems they face every day.

You will learn to:

• Change the focus of your efforts from the SME’s expertise to the learner’s needs
• Negotiate out “nice-to-know” information
• Help SMEs break down what they’ve learned over the years in a way that’s helpful to others
• Use one simple question to determine what content should be included and what should be cut

All management approaches undergo changes, and this includes project management practices. Some changes occur slowly, whereas others take place quickly because of rapid changes in the environment and within the organization.

The impact of the pandemic, advances in technology, growth in artificial intelligence applications, how teams collaborate and communicate with each other, and the role of critical soft skills—are leading us into the next generation of project management.

Additionally, the environment in which project managers perform has changed significantly and has become more complex.

Project management is now becoming a strategic competency necessary for the survival of the organization rather than just another career path position.

Project managers are now seen as managing part of a business when managing a project and are expected to make both project and business decisions.

As we apply project management practices to new types of projects, internal and external forces now impact how project problems are being solved.

In this webinar, Dr. Kerzner will discuss the factors driving the next generation of project management including:

• The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
• Advances in project problem-solving and decision-making
• The growth in project brainstorming sessions
• The growth in artificial intelligence applications
• Establishing criteria for project success and failure
• Converting project failure into success
• The growth in the use of crisis dashboards

Presenter: Harold Kerzner (Ph.D., MS, Engineering and MBA) (LinkedIn Profile)is Senior Executive Director with International Institute for Learning, Inc. Dr. Kerzner is a globally recognized expert on project, program, and portfolio management, total quality management, and strategic planning and the author of the best-selling books:
