Jeremy Erard
Founder of SDI Clarity. Founder & CEO of Thrive Talent Development. 20+ years inside talent development, designing training for Fortune 1000 companies.
Who He Is
Jeremy Erard founded SDI Clarity in 2003 in Greenville, Michigan. He has spent more than 20 years inside talent development, designing training for Fortune 1000 companies. Under his leadership, 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 Clarity takes an org design-centered approach to evaluating and implementing agentic AI opportunities, with the Agentic Workforce Assessment as its flagship engagement.
The Senior Practitioner Does the Work
When you engage SDI Clarity, the work is done by senior practitioners — not junior consultants learning on your dime. That is the model: the same person with 20+ years of Fortune 1000 organizational design experience leads the interviews, maps the workflows, and presents the findings to your board.
It is also hands-on by design. SDI runs its own multi-agent AI systems daily and has implemented agentic AI in its own operations — so recommendations come from an operator who knows what is possible, what is hype, and what it actually takes.
Two Companies, One Mission
Jeremy founded two companies that serve the same mission at different scales: SDI Clarity serves 500-5,000-employee organizations with custom consulting; sister company Thrive Talent Development serves 50-500-employee SMBs with a turnkey platform.

A turnkey talent development platform for 50-500-employee SMBs, built so growing companies can access the enterprise-quality training larger organizations have.
Visit Thrive“I kept seeing the same pattern: great companies with 50-500 employees who knew training mattered, but couldn't access what enterprises had. AI finally let us close that gap.”
Work Directly with the Practitioner
SDI takes on a limited number of engagements each quarter so the senior practitioner can do the work on every one.
