Training Material Conversion

Highlights

Client: Pan-European Logistics Group
Situation: Necessity to convert F2F training materials for virtual delivery
Challenge: Large amount of training materials required a significant time investment; the Group also required us to train their managers in content conversion during the process
Solution: Collaborative co-creation of some materials, allowing us to refresh the training materials and train the managers for virtual design and delivery at the same time.
Result: Successful conversion of materials, and great feedback from the client.

Training Material Conversion

This multi-national distribution group already had high-quality training materials for the development of their senior staff, but these were optimized for face-to-face sessions. After COVID-19 hit, the materials needed to be adapted in order to retain their impact in the virtual world.

After meeting with us for a demonstration session they decided that VTT were the right team for the job, and we set up a plan for conversion. One of the training programmes would be fully converted by a Virtual Training Team expert, taking the materials already present and updating them for the virtual environment. The other programme would be a collaborative effort with the Group’s senior managers; the VTT design team would work closely with them to revise the program, updating and adapting the materials. In doing so VTT future-proofed them by training them to adapt their programs independently.

With three full days of presentation materials to convert using two of our conversion services, this was a big undertaking, and required careful planning and communication to ensure everything went smoothly.

Feedback: The client has stated multiple times that we have exceeded their expectations; they are very pleased with the work we’ve done.

challenge

The group’s training was well-written, but not optimised for virtual delivery.
Large amounts of materials to be converted.
Conversion needed to be collaborative, requiring significant consultancy.
The Group requested that we train the managers in conversion so that they can convert material independently in future.

Solution

Take existing training materials and make them applicable in the virtual world.
Independently convert a day’s worth of training; collaborate with the senior managers to refresh and virtualise a further two days’ worth, training them in the process.
Frequent communication to ensure goals and requirements were being met as expected.
