Beyond Manpower: The Scalable Power of Automated Skill-Building

A smiling professional watching a training video on a laptop, symbolizing on-demand learning and scalable skill-building through SharePoint.

In the fast-paced world of technology, effective training and support are non-negotiables. You're likely using an assortment of Microsoft Office Products, Teams, and intranet services daily. But are you making the most out of them? More importantly, is your team?

Why Traditional Training Falls Short

Face-to-face training has its merits, but it's a perishable commodity. Once the training session ends, the knowledge imparted starts to fade away unless continuously reinforced. Additionally, arranging in-person training sessions can be logistically cumbersome and expensive.

The Game-Changer: Your SharePoint Intranet

The solution may already exist within your organization: your SharePoint intranet. Imagine a dedicated SharePoint site that serves as an evergreen training and support hub. A place where employees can find a wealth of short, targeted videos offering a full curriculum for SharePoint end-users, Microsoft Office Products, and Teams.

How It Works

  • On-Demand Training: Short videos hosted in a SharePoint library, accessible 24/7.

  • Searchable Content: Metadata attached to each video allows employees to find what they need quickly.

  • Peer Support: An integrated discussion board for users to ask questions and share insights.

The Step-by-Step Implementation

  1. Plan the Curriculum: Identify the key areas that require training.

  2. Shoot the Videos: Record bite-sized videos covering specific topics.

  3. Metadata Magic: Attach relevant metadata for easy searching.

  4. Discussion Board: Implement a space for queries and discussions.

  5. Review and Refine: Regularly update the content based on user feedback.

Why It's Better

  • Retained Asset: Once created, the videos remain an organizational asset forever.

  • Absolute Convenience: Available around the clock, zero waiting.

  • Brand Identity: Recording videos in your environment strengthens brand identity and aids in quicker adoption.

  • Cost-Efficient: Over time, the incremental cost of training per employee drops significantly as the library grows and is utilized more.

Versatility: Cover All Bases

The beauty of this system lies in its adaptability. You're not limited to SharePoint. You can cover a range of topics—from Microsoft Office to Teams to any software you use.

Dollars and Cents: A Comparative Look

Comparing the cost per employee of live trainings with that of adding another viewer to an existing video library reveals astonishing savings as time goes on and the company grows.

You've Got Help

Yes, you can definitely set this up yourself. But if you're stuck or just want it done professionally, we're just a click away.

Don't Just Train—Retain!

The modern organization must look beyond traditional training models. A SharePoint-based training site not only adds value but also serves as a lasting asset. Consider building one today and set your organization on the path of perpetual learning and growth.
