Enablement in RevOps
Enablement sometimes sits within RevOps, sometimes alongside it, and sometimes under the CRO independently. The trend is toward tighter integration with ops, enablement informed by data, not intuition.
It depends on the organization. Some companies include enablement within RevOps; others keep it as a peer function. The trend is toward closer integration.
