Jeremy Erard
Nearly 25 years helping organizations turn strategy into work people can actually perform. That includes organization design, talent development, custom learning, and practical support for change.
The idea behind SDI is simple: make the work better, help people perform, and stay involved long enough to see it through.
01 / About Jeremy
Who Jeremy is
Jeremy Erard founded SDI Clarity in 2002 in Greenville, Michigan. He has spent nearly 25 years helping organizations improve how work gets done and prepare people to perform. Since then, SDI has completed 450+ client engagements across 14+ industries for organizations including Johnson Controls, Iron Mountain, Consumers Energy, Meijer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, AJ Gallagher, LG, and Haworth.
Today, SDI helps clients assess work and AI opportunities, improve organization and talent decisions, run learning and development, and build custom learning that supports change. In every case, the goal is to help people understand what is changing, build the skills they need, and use the new way in their daily work.
02 / What clients can expect
The people you meet stay involved
When you work with SDI Clarity, the people you meet at the beginning stay involved. Jeremy takes part in interviews, reviews the findings, helps shape the recommendations, and joins the conversations with your leadership team.
We bring in specialists in organization design, learning, facilitation, creative development, and implementation when the work calls for it. They remain directly involved in the parts they are responsible for.
SDI uses Clara and other AI agents in our own work. That helps us understand what AI can do and where people still need to make the call. Our recommendations are based on the facts, the people doing the work, and our own experience.
03 / Two ways we help
SDI Clarity and Thrive
Jeremy founded SDI Clarity and Thrive Talent Development to solve two connected problems. SDI helps organizations improve how work gets done and manage important change. Thrive gives growing companies a practical way to develop their people without building a large internal learning and development function.
