Sales and leadership enablement for Australian teams. Built so the skills get used.
Most training is forgotten before it changes anything. We design programs around practice, feedback and reinforcement, so what people learn shows up in how they work.
The transfer problem
You've invested in great training. Your people learned. Then real work happened, and the skills vanished.
We solve the transfer problem through AI-powered practice in the situations your people face every day. Real scenarios, sustained practice, and measurable results which show exactly how much better they get.

What our clients say about us
"Working with Known By Name has given me real clarity on how I show up as a leader and how I'm experienced by others across the business.
The feedback was honest, practical, and helped me identify both my strengths and the areas I needed to improve. It strengthened my communication, consistency, and leadership presence, while also helping me build stronger trust and influence with my team.
The outcomes have been genuinely valuable, both professionally and personally."

When AI became my reflex
I’m using AI more than ever, even for things I know how to do, and it has made me wonder what happens to our skills when using it becomes a reflex. This is a personal reflection, and a practical prompt for L&D and enablement teams, about what to hand over, what to keep human and how to make sure the work still feels like us.

FAQs
Common questions about Catalyst Enablement Group
What does Catalyst Enablement Group do?
Catalyst Enablement Group is an Australian based consultancy. We help organisations improve how their people communicate, work together, and perform in their roles.
What types of training and development programs does Catalyst Enablement offer?
We design and deliver enablement programs that help people build skills and confidence they can use in their everyday work.
What is enablement and how is it different from training?
Enablement is a training approach that helps people confidently apply skills in real work situations, rather than only learning concepts in a session. It focuses on practice, confidence, and applying learning where it matters most: in your everyday work.
Why does traditional training fail to change behaviour?
Traditional training often focuses on delivering content in a workshop or online session. People attend, learn new ideas, and then return to work with limited support to apply them. Our approach is different. We focus on helping people use skills confidently in their everyday work. That means learning is built around real situations, real conversations, and real challenges your people face. Skills are practised, revisited, and reinforced over time so they become part of how work gets done.
What is the training transfer problem and how do you solve it?
The transfer problem occurs when people learn skills in training but fail to apply them consistently at work. Research shows up to 90% of training content is forgotten or not applied on the job within 90 days. We solve the transfer problem through AI-powered practice in realistic scenarios, spaced repetition over time, immediate feedback loops, and ongoing workplace application support.
How do you measure whether enablement is working?
We use AI roleplay to help people practise real workplace conversations in a safe environment. People can try different approaches, build confidence, and learn through repetition before those conversations happen at work. The roleplays are scored objectively, which means we can see changes in confidence, skill use, and consistency over time, rather than relying only on feedback or attendance. It gives organisations a clearer view of what is improving and where people may need more support.
What size and type of organisations does Catalyst Enablement work with?
We work with small and medium businesses as well as larger organisations across a range of industries in Australia and New Zealand.
How does AI roleplay work in sales and leadership training?
AI roleplay allows people to practise real workplace conversations with AI-powered personas in a safe, judgement-free environment. The AI responds naturally to what participants say, simulating realistic conversations with colleagues, clients, or stakeholders. After each practice session, participants receive immediate feedback on their communication effectiveness. They repeat scenarios as many times as needed until new behaviours feel natural, without requiring a manager or coach to be present.
