Most L&D teams accept this gap as inevitable. It isn't.Sean breaks down why the gap exists (it's a cadence mismatch, not a workload problem), how to get upstream of software changes before they ship, the two-question change triage that tells you exactly what needs training, and why capture-based builds close the gap faster than any course development approach.If you're an L&D leader, enablement manager, or training professional responsible for software adoption at your organization, this episode gives you a repeatable system to close the gap and keep it closed.
