MEASURING LEARNING'S IMPACT ON THE BUSINESS (Elluminate Live)
Wed 16 Feb 01:00PM New York / Wed 16 Feb 06:00PM GMT / Thu 17 Feb 05:00AM Sydney
Jeffrey Berk. This session will highlight six approaches that practitioners can use to measure learning's impact on the business. The approaches range from the use of ‘smart sheet' evaluations to glean reasonable indicators of learning's link to business results to a highly statistical causal model that creates an optimization roadmap of the correct inputs that drive results oriented outputs. In between we will explore the use of benchmarking, conditional questions, consultative templates and correlation analysis to reasonably yet credibly show how learning influences a business or behavioral outcome. In addition we will underscore the session with the use of concepts like Six Sigma applied to L&D to optimize performance and minimize defects.
