If you’ve spent enough time in the learning and development (L&D) sphere, you’ve likely come across the acronym SME. Add it to the long list of L&D jargon. SME stands for subject matter expert and is used to refer to an expert or thought leader in their field.

If you think your social skills have atrophied, you’re not alone.

After spending more than 30 years serving in the Department of Defense (DOD) and now supporting the DOD and other government agencies, I have seen widening disparities in the age, experience, and capability of a labor force that has training issues ahead.

It is a common complaint these days that we are polarized, especially when it comes to politics. We seem to think that people trafficking in poorly informed opinions is new. It isn’t. Fake news is as old as news. Misinformation is as old as information. So how can you disagree civilly when you can’t agree on facts?

As companies struggle to manage the social and environmental tumult of our times, they are turning to the chief sustainability officer (CSO) to put C-suite eyes on these challenges. For two decades, I have been asking what makes a successful CSO and have interviewed hundreds of business sustainability professionals. While the CSO’s work varies dramatically by business, industry, and country, there are some commonalties that make them successful.

When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in early 2020, many employees who could perform their jobs (or parts of their jobs) from home began working remotely either all or some of the time. As hybrid work continues in 2022, leaders are looking ahead and trying to imagine what the future of the hybrid workplace might look like.

As we shift to more virtual work, many organizations are struggling to recreate an in-person work culture. The ways we once connected are no longer easily applied to the work-from-anywhere (WFA) model. Instead, organizations are forced to evolve and adapt. What does a productive corporate WFA culture look like?

One of the most concerning issues facing learning and development (L&D) professionals within the federal government is an aging workforce. With more employees poised to retire in the coming years, a shortage of trained personnel who know how to do their jobs looms on the horizon.

Technical skills and academic knowledge are both respected and valued. Our ability to calculate and reason will reign supreme as our world continues to evolve at astonishing speeds. With these advancements, we may wonder how our connections to one another will evolve.
