ID Power Hour: The SME Who Controls Everything

​💡 ID Power Hour: Join our interactive sessions where we explore real-life instructional design challenges through case-based discussions. Instead of focusing on frameworks, we dive into complex workplace situations and think through them together as a community.

​✨ Participation: Interactive session with breakout discussions, chat, and shared reflections.

​This month, we’ll explore a realistic case where an instructional designer is asked to design a critical training while working with a highly experienced SME who controls every detail of the process. As content grows and decisions slow down, learning design starts to take a back seat.

​In this session, we will:

• ​Analyze a real-world SME-driven training scenario

• ​Explore the tension between subject matter expertise and learning design

• ​Discuss how to navigate strong stakeholder influence

• ​Share practical ways to protect the learner experience
