Makes enablement managers look like rockstars

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Udemy in Customer Success Enablement to create custom learning paths for our team, particularly for certain skill trainings for which we did not have an in-house subject matter expert. Obviously, sharing access to a tool like Udemy org-wide instead of hiring subject matter experts for every conceivable topic saves money.

Pros

  • Ability to customize learning paths
  • Range of topics available to learn
  • Pleasant UI; not too busy

Cons

  • I had no complaints when using Udemy!

Return on Investment

  • Higher quality trainings for frontline employees when no SME present
  • Time saved by being able to take sections of courses (instead of entire course)
  • Time saved for employees by using Udemy SMEs instead of requiring time of in-house SMEs
