All facts, no filler: why using your in-house experts really matters
In-house experts are an invaluable resource for any organisation. They possess knowledge and experience that can be leveraged to improve training programmes and ensure that employees are properly equipped to perform their jobs. Co-creating training with in-house experts not only improves the quality of training, but it also increases employee engagement and fosters a culture of continuous learning.
Identifying Your In-House Experts
Before you can begin co-creating training with your in-house experts, you need to identify who they are. In-house experts are individuals who have specialised knowledge, skills, and experience in a particular area. They may be subject matter experts, trainers, or experienced employees who have worked in a particular role for a long time. To identify your in-house experts, you can:
- Look for individuals who have been recognised for their expertise, such as those who have won awards or been promoted for their knowledge and skills.
- Ask managers and team leaders to identify employees who have specialised knowledge and skills that could be useful in developing training.
- Look for individuals who have been consistently successful in their roles and have a good understanding of what it takes to perform well.
Co-Creating Training with In-House Experts
Once you have identified your in-house experts, it’s time to involve them in co-creating training. Co-creating training involves collaborating with subject matter experts to design and develop training materials that are tailored to the needs of your organisation. This approach has several benefits, including:
Improved Relevance: In-house experts have a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing your organisation. By involving them in the training development process, you can ensure that the training is relevant to your organisation’s specific needs.
Increased Engagement: Involving in-house experts in the training development process increases their engagement and sense of ownership in the training. This, in turn, makes it more likely that they will participate in the training and encourage others to do so as well.
Greater Efficiency: In-house experts can provide valuable insights and feedback throughout the training development process, which can help you identify and resolve issues more quickly. This can save time and resources in the long run.
