My guest this week is enablement guru Kris Reynolds who has vast experience and is currently the Field Enablement Manager at GitLab. In this conversation, we talk about: A definition for “enablement”, which often means different things to different people, and why it matters so much The importance of practical application of learning “in the wild” How to empower learners with the skills they need to thrive in their roles How to identify the skills team members need for success Moving from “monolithic” training to “just-in-time” training The role of collaboration in building a workplace culture, particularly in a fully remote company Gitlab’s iterative approach to learning development in an “always-on culture” How agility is the name of the game in a rapidly changing environment Hiring for “value-fit as opposed to “culture-fit”
