We also dive into his proven approach to embedded learning, where support happens in the moment of need, not before or after, to drive real tech adoption and operational outcomes.If you're a learning and development leader, enablement specialist, or operations manager looking to improve software adoption, empower frontline employees, and optimize tech stack performance, this conversation provides the exact frameworks you need.💡 FREE RESOURCE: Embedded Learning Playbook: How to Shift from ”Train Then Apply” to ”Learn While Doing” – [RESOURCE LINK]SOCIALS:👨💻 Connect with Sean – https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-adams-sales/👨💻
