Product and policy changes
Prepare people to apply the update, not just read it
Turn a release or policy change into practice before the next customer question. Check the specific decisions and explanations that have changed, rather than repeating the whole onboarding course.

What changed
When this becomes a priority
A product launch creates new customer questions
Knowing a new feature exists does not prepare a representative to explain it, handle pushback or apply it to a particular account. Practise the customer questions the launch creates.
Policy emails do not test application
An acknowledgement confirms someone opened a policy, not that they can apply an exception correctly. Use a scenario to check the decision the update changes.
Experienced people need targeted updates
Tenured colleagues need to rehearse what is new or difficult. Keep the exercise focused on the changed behaviour rather than replaying introductory training.
