How can we use the expertise of retired professionals ?

Subject for discussion:    “I have recently had my attention drawn to a U.S. website called www.yourencore.com  which is an organisation which puts its client companies (who include some big international companies) in touch with its 'Experts',  who are retired scientists interested in putting their expertise to part time use.       From the viewpoint of making best use of the talents of retired professionals it sounds an excellent idea to me, and I wonder if you know whether there is any equivalent organisation in UK, and if not whether you think there would be a demand for one, either from companies or retired scientists.”  JW

“ Sounds an interesting idea, and I am not aware of anything quite like it in UK.    Perhaps Retirement Reinvented could make a start by acting as a focal point for interested ‘experts’ who would be interested to take part.    And it is not only scientists and engineers - there is probably a role for the expertise of other professionals as well.”      JR
