We need to employ a redhead next…or someone who repairs kitchen cupboards. Or Prince William (as an investment).

An expert in history perhaps – its that kind of thinking that needs to change!

Thanks for your comments Carl and Mas – I would actually add in creativity, especially when so much of this stuff is new and different… the ability to apply context and vision to the use of social media is where the value lies for me.

Couldn’t agree more http://cli.gs/AWqNdh

I suggested it more as ‘facilitators of learning’ in that the role is to recognise the opportunities participants have to learn/develop and then support them along the paths they choose to take. If you do this you can’t possibly be an expert in all those potential paths, but you can use your experience of having travelled many paths yourself to help them along (assuming you still regularly go for ‘learning walks’ yourself!)

Well, it’s good to learn. But an expert is merely one who has experience.
