Introduction
Many ask about the various projects that TrainSmart is involved in outside of the services we provide. It’s important for you to know more about our capabilities, successes, and to engage in congratulating our team as we successfully complete projects. As I often say, “We can be that extra pair of hands or the Chief Learning Officer.”
HVJ Associates Project Overview
Diane Wendt and I took on the role of Chief Learning Officer for HVJ Associates, an engineering firm based in Texas. They needed help to transition their 30-year-old company to a franchise model operation, ultimately building up to 10,000 franchises.
TrainSmart’s Role and Deliverables As Chief Learning Officer, we:
- Created an HVJ Learning Management Resource System
- Built a comprehensive resource from the ground up
- Provided easy access to the company’s training videos and thousands of documents
- Brought consistency to the company’s processes and procedures
Project Execution
TrainSmart delivered a proof of concept following a Rapid Assessment of the current state of training assets, processes, and procedures. We focused on developing and launching a highly secured and user-friendly learning portal, serving as a one-stop-shop for all operational knowledge management.
Project Objectives
The project was designed to:
- Formalize all reference and training content for franchise owners
- Design and develop eLearning modules
- Create an inviting and easy-to-use front-end portal
- Integrate with HVJ’s Learning Management System
- Develop a video library repository system
- Technical Details
We used Storyline to build the eOM and two courses (one at level 1-2 and one at level 2-3). These will serve as eCourse templates for the next phase as we propose the development for the rest of the 9 OM Section eCourses and related training eModules.
Team Recognition
A huge thank you and kudos to:
- John Glass for website portal/development brilliance
- Robyn Barton for innovative ID development expertise

Closing Remarks
It clearly took a village to complete this project, overcoming the Murphy’s Law we always can count on. It’s been a privilege to work with everyone. Thank you so much! You are greatly appreciated!
Congratulations!
