A Subject Matter Expert (SME) is a person who has experience and capability in a certain field of study or discipline.  On major project teams, they are the ones who you can in to make sure that what you are proposing is technically feasible or won't break a current process or system.  Although in today's fast-paced, mobile, technology-drenched environment, people are rewarded for broad curiosities and interests, there is no substitute for deep expertise in an area.  So, as we begin this new week, I am challenged to think about the areas in which I am an SME and how I can go deeper to learn more to strengthen my value there and how I might make that expertise available to solve problems and create possibilities.
