In an era where "speed to productivity" is the ultimate competitive advantage, traditional, one-size-fits-all onboarding is no longer enough. This session explores how to move beyond gut feel to create a high-impact onboarding strategy rooted in empathy and powered by technology. Attendees will discover how to use Design Thinking to uncover the real needs of the field, leverage AI to synthesize complex feedback, and harness Internal Data to build an Onboarding program that ties learning to bottom-line outcomes. By the end of this keynote and workshop, attendees will be able to: - Apply Design Thinking: Use specific frameworks to extract "must-learn" essentials from sellers and leaders. - Implement AI Strategies: Leverage AI tools to analyze qualitative feedback and accelerate strategy formation. - Build Data-Driven Business Cases: Identify and utilize key performance indicators (KPIs) like ramp time and time-to-first-deal to justify onboarding investments. - Execute a Hybrid Strategy: Balance human-centric insights with hard data to create an Onboarding experience that teaches vital skills that connects new hires to the culture by leveraging AI, managers, mentors, and the power of enablement.
