Our story
Between the quantum leap of SaaS adoption, the accelerated rate of change and the shift to remote work, the world looks drastically different today than it did a decade ago. Yet, when we looked at the way employees were being trained and enabled in their roles, there’d been little to no progress over that same timeline.
We’re using more digital tools than ever before and our workflows are increasingly complex but the expectation has been that an employee will figure it all out with a PowerPoint presentation or LMS course.
As coworkers leading Sales Operations & Product, we knew there had to be a better, simpler way. We imagined a world where learning was integrated within an employee’s flow of work. Where training and resources were contextualized, personalized and instantly accessible. Where learning in our professional lives was as easy (and joyful) as it is in our personal lives. This is the future we’re building at Spekit.
