Under-experts

We have people with expertise that aren't being recognised or leveraged, eg staff with many years of experience in non-management positions. Then with an organisation restructuring, we hired in new managers from outside, and asked those non-management staff to bring the new managers up to speed in their areas of expertise. Why would they?

Expertise Feeding Frenzy

We recently won a huge international tender, and found that there were very few people locally who had the expertise we needed. We had to source from other organisations as well as other countries. These people usually come in at management positions, so there is a lot of instability and "settling in" to be done. But we're hoping this will be a model for other projects.
