ASICHow to make your frameworks usable
“Incredible Experience with Acorn”
This PLMS is an all generation friendly LMS. We opted for the Performance package, and have automated our forms and evaluations. Finally found a way to get supervisors and staff aligned and accountable for their evaluation due dates.
The format is easy to brand and easy for staff to learn right away.
Our employee usage at 7 months into Acorn is up by 87%!

Non-Profit Organization ManagementFAQ
Can we use our existing capability framework?
Yes. You can import what you already have and refine it over time, no need to rebuild from scratch if you already have something contextual to your org.
What if we don’t have a framework yet?
We can help you create one from scratch. You can start with templates and best-practice structures, use industry templates like SFIA, or pull from our proprietary library to get moving quickly.
How do we keep the framework consistent across teams?
Acorn is the shared source of truth for your framework, so teams aren’t using separate documents, spreadsheets, or versions. Anytime you need to update capabilities, everyone sees the changes immediately in their capability dashboards.
How do we actually use the framework once it’s set up?
Once your framework is in ready to go, you can map capabilities to roles, use them in assessments and interactions, and generate development plans based on gaps. The framework shows up in everyday workflows, not just as a document on someone’s shelf.
How long does it take to set up a capability framework in Acorn?
Using Acorn AI, generating a framework can take days rather than months of manual work.
