Subject Matter Expert (SME)

During meetings, SMEs are often consulted to provide expert insights, guidance, or clarification on matters related to their expertise. Their contributions are valuable for ensuring that discussions are well-informed and decisions are made based on accurate and authoritative information. SMEs play a vital role in enriching discussions and problem-solving within a meeting context.
