Small teams get things done. They're agile, cross-functional, and used to juggling priorities. But when it comes to software adoption, process changes, or launching new systems—training can quietly become a bottleneck. 

There's no dedicated learning department. No budget for outsourced trainers. Just a handful of people are expected to keep things running while figuring out something new. 

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. 

The challenge isn't the will to train—it's the time to do it well. And more importantly, how to maintain it without piling on extra work. 
 

The Everyday Struggles of Smaller Teams 
 

Let's face it: training often feels like a "nice-to-have" when everyone is buried under immediate tasks. You may plan to onboard users, document steps, or create tutorials—but deadlines, meetings, and customer calls tend to take over. 

Common pain points include: 

• Training content that gets outdated fast 

• New hires relying on tribal knowledge 

• Inconsistent user understanding 

• Delays in adoption due to confusion 

• Knowledge gaps across teams and regions 

It's not laziness—it's overload. 

So, how can small teams train effectively without burning out? 
 

A Smarter Framework for Smaller Teams 
 

While the challenges are real, the good news is there are ways to overcome them. Let's explore how ClickLearn can help small teams tackle these hurdles with ease. 

ClickLearn automates many of the time-consuming aspects of training content creation. With features like "Record Once, Use Forever," small teams can generate a wide variety of training materials without needing to be experts in instructional design. It's a tool that can help your team quickly create guides, walkthroughs, and videos, cutting down on manual work and making the training process more efficient. 

Here's how it works: 

1. Plug-and-Play Simplicity: You don't need to spend hours learning new software. ClickLearn works seamlessly with your existing applications, including legacy systems. You can record your actions once and instantly turn them into a training video, guide, or step-by-step walkthrough. 

2. No Need for Specialists: You don't need a team of training specialists. The platform allows generalists to easily create training content, making it easy to incorporate learning into the regular workflow without requiring additional resources. 

3. Focused Learning: Instead of creating lengthy, generalized training, ClickLearn allows you to create training specific to the task at hand. Your team can focus on the exact tools and processes they need to learn, minimizing distractions and making learning more targeted. 

4. Instant Updates: System updates happen regularly, and so does training. With ClickLearn, updating training materials is as easy as hitting "Replay" to refresh the content. This way, everyone stays on the same page, no matter how many changes are made. 

5. Saves Time and Cost: By automatically generating training content, ClickLearn allows your team to spend less time creating training and more time on productive work. Training becomes less of a time drain and more of a tool that helps your team perform at their best. 
    

How DuraServ Reduced Training Content Creation Time by 80% 
 

Let’s bring these features to life with a real example. 

Meet DuraServ, an industrial services company running three critical software platforms. When it was time to transition to Microsoft Dynamics 365, the challenge was immediate: How could their already-stretched team create and update robust training for offices spread across the country? 

Before ClickLearn, making a single piece of training content was a marathon; updates were endless and new releases from Microsoft meant the team never caught up. 
 

The Solution? ClickLearn.
