Since COVID-19 emerged, numerous organizations rapidly converted traditional onboarding and skill-building initiatives into remote, digitized formats. However, this shift should have occurred much earlier—a transition SDI Clarity has championed for years.
Digital conversion encompasses multiple approaches. Virtual Training Transformation involves converting in-person classroom sessions to virtual delivery combining "social distancing friendly" methods like virtual classrooms, eLearnings, animations, and videos. This requires reimagining content with visual stimulation—more graphics, videos, infographics, and color variety—while maintaining effective learner engagement and practice strategies.
Job Aids Digitization means converting complex paper-based work instructions into visual formats. For instance, condensing a twenty-page standard operating procedure into a five-minute annotated video accessible anytime, on any device.

On-the-Job Training involves converting paper checklists to digital formats with electronic signoffs for record management. Course Catalog Updates means refreshing existing eLearning courses. Many organizations maintain courses "produced in the 1990s." While these track completion, modern advancements in technology, interactivity, and measurement deliver substantially greater impact.
The benefits extend beyond crisis response. Enhanced Retention through multiple sensory stimulation in digital formats reduces facilitator dependence and increases content effectiveness through improved interactivity. Reduced Administration Costs come from eliminating printing, shipping, material storage, and physical record management, creating significant savings.

Version Control ensures employees access current information, preventing outdated printed material circulation. Advanced Data Tracking in digital systems enables sophisticated metrics beyond completion records—including time-to-completion, attempt counts, question-specific performance, automatic renewal notifications, popular interaction tracking, and electronic signatures. Accessibility means employees access materials whenever needed, wherever located, across any device.
Digital conversion needn't feel overwhelming. Organizations benefit from external perspective for brainstorming or partnering with specialists for rapid implementation. SDI Clarity has fulfilled both roles for numerous clients, offering examples upon request and LinkedIn video discussions addressing this transformation.
