Cornerstone Training & Enablement Services
A new Cornerstone implementation brings change for everyone. Making sure people actually use it is what makes it successful.
Administrators need to know how to manage the platform before go-live, but that's only the first step. Once Cornerstone is live, managers and employees need ongoing support too. We combine practical training with communication, guided experiences and in-platform guidance, so people can do their job without relying on lengthy documentation or waiting for support.
A complete enablement approach
Supporting people before, during and after go-live.
Preparing administrators starts before launch. Every Cornerstone implementation, migration and optimization project begins with the people who will manage the platform. They need the knowledge and confidence to work with Cornerstone, support the business and prepare for a successful go-live.
Launching successfully means more than switching the platform on. Managers and employees need to understand what's changing, feel comfortable with new ways of working and know where to go when they need help. That's where practical training, communication and guided experiences make the difference.
Supporting people continues long after launch. Cornerstone evolves, new features are introduced, business processes change and new employees join the organization. That's why enablement shouldn't stop after the first workshop. Ongoing communication and in-platform guidance keep people informed and support available whenever it's needed.
Successful Cornerstone Adoption
Every role.
Every day.
Training
Administrator, manager and employee training tailored to your Cornerstone environment, giving every user group the knowledge they need to work confidently with the platform.
Communication
Launch campaigns, branded communication and rollout materials that prepare people for change and support adoption before, during and after go-live.
Digital Guidance
Interactive walkthroughs, chatbots, contextual help and guided experiences that provide support inside Cornerstone, exactly where and when people need it.
Flexible delivery
The right approach depends on your organization.
During the project, we work with your Learning & Development team to understand how your organization is set up, which roles need support and what approach fits them best. Together we'll create a training and enablement plan, selecting the right mix of workshops, train-the-trainer sessions, rollout support and knowledge resources based on your project, your teams and the way your organization works.
Interactive Workshops
Practical workshops focused on your Cornerstone environment, business processes and the people taking part.
Train-the-Trainer
Prepare your internal experts to answer questions, support colleagues and continue building knowledge after go-live.
Knowledge & Support
Support your team on the spot with articles, videos, chatbots and practical resources that provide answers exactly when they're needed.
Ongoing Support
Keep people up to date as Cornerstone evolves with refresher sessions, communication and guidance for new features and changes.
Mix and Match
Different modules. Different people. Different support.
Standard training packages rarely fit a Cornerstone project. The right approach depends on the modules you're implementing, the people using them and the support they'll need during and after the rollout. The overview below shows how training, communication and in-platform guidance can be combined across different Cornerstone products and user groups.
