Implementing new digital processes can be challenging alongside your other day-to-day responsibilities. At Bud, we tailor our support to your individual needs, with our Core and Enhanced services.
If digital transformation is still a new concept to you, get up to speed here:
In this article, we look at how to kick off the digital transformation process in your organisation and the support Bud can offer your team.
Many training providers are still relying on out-of-date models of working because they’re familiar and safe. For example:
At Bud, we’ve helped training providers of all shapes and sizes through the digital transformation process. We understand how hard it can be to let go of old systems and make a change to a new way of working.
Our in-house experts have:
It’s natural to be nervous about making the switch to new digital solutions. The first step towards embracing change is appreciating the benefits it can offer so you can start envisaging how the rollout will look.
Take enrolment as an example. With Bud’s platform, learners can manage enrolment themselves on their smartphone at home, where they’ve got all the information to hand.
This avoids multiple face-to-face visits, which can be time consuming for the trainer and expensive for the organisation. And, because it’s all digitally captured and stored, there’s no chance of documents getting lost or forgotten at the bottom of a pile of papers.
Submitting ILRs is another time-consuming part of training provision, and organisations often cling on to their old ways of working because it’s what they know. This might involve a combination of taking data from a paper-based platform and submitting it via another system, like PICS. It’s hardly a smooth operation.
But Bud has been designed to provide a joined-up solution. Learners are required to submit their progress as they go, so all the evidence you need is accurately captured in real time along the learning journey and automatically submitted.
Training providers are diverse in terms of their size, culture and digital capabilities, so the starting point for change can vary significantly between different organisations.
It’s important to us that we fully understand your needs, so we begin with an initial meeting to scope out your current ways of working.
This helps us establish your starting point – are you switching from another end-to-end platform or using a mix of paper-based and digital tools, for example?
At the outset, we’ll establish your goals and success criteria:
When it comes to the support you need, we know from years of experience of working with training providers that a one-size-fits-all approach is not enough.
That’s why Bud now has two levels of implementation: Core and Enhanced. It means we can give you the exact level of support you need to make your digital transformation a success.
Our Core service is great for providers who need a basic level of support getting started.
You might already have an in-house tech expert or a group of staff ready to embrace the change. Core gives you everything you need to get Bud up and running as quickly as possible.
Our Enhanced service is designed for providers looking for an extra level of support and guidance.
The Enhanced service walks you through each step of implementation, ensuring there’s always an expert on hand to answer any questions you have. This service includes weekly progress meetings, as well as training sessions to help your team get familiar with the new tools.
We’ll also offer support calls after the rollout, so you can be confident you’ll get the most out of Bud.
