Applying Expertise
I’m trying to get my mind around how the information we’re finding out about expertise matches to the types of problems people face. If you look across the literature on expertise, and the recent writing on how our brains work (c.f. Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow ), you see an emerging picture of expertise. When you look at the  Cynefin  model, which characterizes the types of problems we face, we see what types of expertise are helpful. Then there are the complex problems that require deeper expertise. meta-learning strategy

What Agile Means to Me
Unpacking each claim Adaptive over predictive Ruth Clark describes adaptive in relation to expertise in her book Building Expertise: Cognitive Methods for Training and Performance Improvement , and I think it reflects my understanding of Agile philosophy very well. Adaptive expertise brings open-ended inquiry to the problem and not a pre-defined solution. To quote Ruth Clark: Fluid intelligence is the basis for reasoning on novel tasks or within unfamiliar contexts; in other words, it gives rise to adaptive expertise.

Content Expertise for Instructional Designers
wonder if the problem in this case isn’t so much about content expertise as it is about being able to communicate with the SMEs effectively. I’ve always kind of looked at the content expertise as a bonus; it can help you come up with real-life examples and makes it easier to speak the same language as the SMEs. I also wonder if an instructional designer with more content expertise and experience would be less effective in the role of “naive learner.&# It seems someone with less expertise could have an easier time being an advocate for beginning learners.

Is Your Training On the Trivial?
That’s expertise , and it exists at every level of your organization.  People usually think of expertise as a “black box” – something which is unknowable, and certainly not written down anywhere. The research has shown that expertise derives from four types of knowledge:  ill-structured problem solving , which is based on a rich understanding of how things work , and a mastery of problem-solving strategies which work within a specific context.  But ill-structured problem solving expertise doesn’t exist by itself. I’d like to introduce you to a friend, Rob Foshay.

See the wood for the SMEs
My point is, when we seek subject matter expertise for a project, a forum, a working group, an advisory board, or merely to answer a question, we might not see the wood for the trees are in the way. Does your organisation have a searchable personnel directory that captures everyone’s expertise? Consider Martha, the tea lady. That’s her job. That’s her job, too.
