True enablement is meeting your teams' needs, not your executives' wants
How has your enablement organization determined the real needs of your stakeholders? Have you run into roadblocks where an executive with no first-hand experience with stakeholder roles inhibits delivering the solutions necessary? And how do you accurately determine if your teams are truly empowered to leverage their best skills and abilities to maximize their impact when senior leaders may have different intentions? Join Ray Schloss (17 years experience at Microsoft as both a field technical seller and a senior enablement and community leader) as we consider alternative approaches to defining what is truly in your teams’ best interest and how to communicate that to senior leaders who typically hold the purse strings.
