Who Are Bentley’s Knowledge Executives?

Back in July this year this article http://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/b/bentley_communities_blog/archive/2014/12/22/who-are-bentley-s-knowledge-executives mentioned that Knowledge Executives would be announced. Unless I have missed it I haven't seen the announcement. have there been any new Knowledge Executives? If so who are they?

  • I expect it's not astonishment such answer isn't excessively dependable. Stuart's inquiry is almost two years of age and all Bentley reactions has offered ambiguous guarantees as it were. From outside, nothing has changed up until now. In world that likes lithe methodology and a typical target is to convey a gradual incentive in fourteen days cycles, the two years looks more like dinosaurus time scale.

    I don't comprehend what is the new stage you referenced, however my inclination Bentley does not utilize existing learning and abilities sources: If planning such program, I would have accepted that you will mastermind exchanges (or other kind of collaborations) with both existing BeMVPs/KEs and clients in networks. It's as I would like to think the best way to locate the best fit and harmony between organization's long haul methodologies and focuses on, clients' locale needs and desires and learning sources (MVP/KE) exercises and ability to help. By and by I am almost certain one from reasons why Knowledge Executive program was destined from first moment was a reality it was structured in an ivory tower in clean office room without a connection to genuine world.

    Possibly I missed something, yet I don't think about such movement (while a similar methodology is utilized as a standard method to get criticism about Bentley beta variants with progress I think).

    With respects,

  • Hi - we do still intend to revamp this program, but I do not have any set date at this time.

    We do greatly appreciate those of you who are making helpful, positive contributions to our Community!

  • Has this program [Knowledge Execs] died a death like Bentley View CONNECT edition?

    According to @Makai Smith, Bentley View CONNECT Edition is to be made available in early 2019.

    Any news with this? Does Bentley have an update?

    No news is good news!

    [in 2016] We WILL revisit this very important program!

    We're still awaiting, in the autumn of 2018, your visitation.

    [in 2017] An update is on its way

    Looking forward to that update.

  • Was there an announcement in 2016 for this? I can't recall seeing this.

  • Hi Duncan,

    I assume it's not surprise such answer is not too trustworthy. Stuart's question is nearly two years old and all Bentley responses has offered vague promises only. From outside, nothing has changed so far. In world that likes agile approach and a common target is to deliver an incremental value in a few weeks cycles, the two years looks more like dinosaurus time scale.

    I don't know what is the new platform you mentioned, but my feeling Bentley does not use existing knowledge and skills sources: If designing such program, I would have assumed that you will arrange discussions (or other type of interactions) with both existing BeMVPs / KEs and users in communities. It's in my opinion the only way to find the best fit and balance between company's long term strategies and targets, users' community needs and expectations and knowledge sources (MVP/KE) activities and willingness to help. Personally I am pretty sure one from reasons why Knowledge Executive program was doomed from very first minute was a fact it was designed in an ivory tower in clean office room without a relation to real world.

    Maybe I missed something, but I don't know about such activity (while the same approach is used as a standard way to obtain feedback about Bentley beta versions with success I think).

    With regards,

    Jan
