Think of your existing workplace training materials like a pre-made dish from the grocery store. It’s a solid base, but with a few personal touches, you can transform it into a culinary masterpiece that WOWs your team. This concept also applies to workplace training. You can lift core content from existing materials and shift it into eLearning and videos!
Why Lift and Shift?
Slash Production Costs: Building online training from scratch is time-consuming and expensive. Leveraging existing assets eliminates much of the groundwork.
Best of Both Worlds: Keep the core content that works while customizing and improving elements that need updating.
Learning from the Past: Avoid repeating mistakes and build upon the successes of previous training efforts.
Customization is Key
Imagine buying your favorite shirt and adding custom embroidery – it becomes uniquely yours. Similarly, personalize existing training to align with current branding, company policies, or target audiences.
Real-World Success Stories
Here are two examples of how we transformed existing content for maximum impact:
The Video Makeover: An outdated training video desperately needed a new look. Using a “paint out” technique, we seamlessly removed the old company logo and branding from clothing, signs, and backgrounds. We also trimmed irrelevant sections, creating a fresh, engaging video.
Course Lift and Shift: Our client inherited valuable employee training courses from their parent company. Instead of starting from scratch, we preserved the proven course structure and flow. After removing irrelevant content, incorporating new insights, and applying fresh branding – voila! A customized, highly effective eLearning solution at a fraction of the usual time and cost.
