Solve Knowledge and Learning Issues with Organization Enablement with Mike Simmons
07/26/23 • 47 min
We've all heard of Sales Enablement roles. But why is it that only sales teams get special attention enabling them to do their jobs better? Shouldn't we be enabling the entire organization?
One might argue that traditional onboarding and training has that responsibility. But it's not quite the same. Enabling all departments to be successful and productive requires more than what traditional training departments provide. Supporting the moments of need within all departments requires knowledge management, informal learning, social learning, access management, and more.
Mike Simmons joins us to talk about organization enablement and how L&D is uniquely positioned to blend the best of Knowledge Management, Performance Improvement, and Learning & Development into a cohesive solution that enables all employees to be their best and provide the most value to their organizations.

Debunking Myths About Creating Accessible Learning Content with Diane Elkins
Have you asked yourself lately why you don't put a stronger focus on accessibility when creating eLearning content? Oh c'mon, you know you've made excuses why you "can't" do it. We all have at one time or another in our careers. I include myself in that. Here are just a few I'm sure you've used:
- "Yea, but nobody in our organization has a disability."
- "Yea, but nobody with a disability could do these particular jobs anyways."
- "Yea, but it costs more, and we don't have the time to spare."
- "Yea, but we're not a government agency so we don't really need to worry about it."
- "Yea, but we make a pdf transcript. That's all we need."
Your "Yea, buts" are no longer valid. Diane Elkins joins us to debunk the common myths and excuses used to avoid creating fully accessible learning experiences. She's an experienced elearning development professional who's been at the helm of Artisan Learning for 20 years. She's heard it all. But more importantly she's discovered successful responses to the "Yea, buts" and created solutions that prove the "yea, but...-ers" (Trademark pending) WRONG.
Stop being a "yea, but...-er"!
